People steal my stuff and I can't do anything about it but complain. What can Apple do that I can't? :O@<!--content-->Originally posted by rjlstar <br />

For one thing, they can afford lawyers to sue people.<!--content-->Originally posted by rjlstar <br />

what did they steal? graphics? because html code is free, javascript is free.<br />
<br />
if it was a graphic and you can prove you made it then you can also sue, but like Arctic said, you have to afford it and usually you can just tell them to take it down and they will. not worth it to get a lawyer to tell 1 person to give back the graphic.<!--content-->apple.com has no different rights to anyone else, by law when you create the coding for a web site,YOU OWN the copyright to it. But unlike a book or a game proving that html code is yours is near impossible. <br />
<br />
From what I have learnt from people using my work. You just have to take it as a compliment.
