I don’t speak dutch so I am not so sure it’s theft either; babelfish returned text that wasn’t an exact match. It look’s like the site may have been inspired by CAP, but after a quick glance I don’t see anything stolen, I didn’t look around though.
allright, I did mess up the descriptions for the techniques apparently.
And because I was’nt really sure whether copying layouts is scraping (I’m a newbie..), I added the sentence “everything is translated into dutch, so no real content scraping, but it is obviously copied from CAP.”.
Just to let you know that I don’t want to call someone a scraper if he’s not.
However, I am surprised that you say: “It look’s like the site may have been inspired by CAP, but after a quick glance I don’t see anything stolen.”
Do you mean that it is “accepted” to copy a site’s layout, if you just change the content? Because to me the site looks quite a bit like CAP. There are probably a couple of things changed, but the ‘general first impression’ is the same.
But if it’s ‘legal’ or ‘ok’ to copy ans semi paste some one’s layout, then just tell me as I don’t know yet, I’ll take notice of it.
To me, it just seemed unethical, unfair, … you know.
