Gain traffic. :)

I came across this timely blog post as a result! Unbelievable they’d think to steal an image from an image stealing detection site! Oh the irony. :) Well spotted and actioned!!

Myself and my forum members Do NOT support copying or image theft.

Keep up the good work.

And I visited their website (http://99designs.com/) only to see their own logo’s subtitle is “Design Done Differently.” Now THAT’s hilarious!

As if this isn’t a perfect example of why spec work sucks: fostering lazy, deceptive “designers” who blatantly steal.
