It's not a dickhead move to send a C&D since they didn't bother to ask you if they could rip you off. It's not like it was 'inspired' by. They took it.
If they put it in a programming/design portfolio I'd be pissed otherwise it's not such a big deal. But they should leave your credits in instead of stripping them out...
I hope employers are aware of this stuff though. Would be sad to hire someone based on a site portfolio that was actually a bunch of ripoffs. I guess that's the employer's loss then though, & they need to learn how to be better at vetting candidates.
Absolutely. I would say shame them. These are college kids, who are learning ethics. This should not under radar. 10 kids ripping your website and claiming their own. It is your hard work.
Good thing they included that super awesome streaming audio widget so I would have something to listen to while I looked at the website. I wonder whose music they stole?
