Stupid copy thieves…

I was just checking my referrers and noticed an entry that I hadn’t seen before. As always I clicked to see what new site was pointing to me. I was surprised to be greeted by a 404 error page (seen above). That didn’t make sense, especially since the referral happened only a minute ago.

But then I noticed that the copy looked familiar. Oh yeah… I WROTE THAT. That’s the copy from MY error page on MY server. That’s not my design or my site, but there it is — MY copy with MY links to MY site and email still intact (idiot).

So, I invite you to take a look at sellswim.com, which incidentally uses this warning:

Use of any graphics without permission is stictly prohibited.. Please email for permission before using..

Ahem, anyway… you might want to send ol’ Jay Schwartz a note letting him know it’s not cool to steal other’s work. I know I will.

UPDATE:// Jay took the error page down almost immediately after I sent my email. So, if you still find it necessary to send him a note, just know that he was quick and gracious to comply.
