I have to say, this shows a lot of skills in web development. It's creative, even if the look and feel were borrowed from Amazon. This shows someone who can make something that "Looks like this..." If only I was hiring...

One concern is this, in the footer: > This website was made in Jan 2013 by Philippe Dubost for the sole purpose of a playful and creative job search. No copyright infrigement intended. "No copyright infringement intended" is not a thing. Also, right below that it then says: > © 2013, Philippe Dubost Seems a bit strange to me.

This has clearly been infringed on for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain; vis-a-vis, employment. Amazon's monetary losses over this offense must be immeasurable. Jail time or crippling life-time debt could be the only satisfactory retribution. /s

what is this, r/technology?

Could there be a language/culture barrier thing going on? YouTube seems to be clear that, whenever you use a copyrighted item in any way, you have to say "No copyright violation intended". It's possible he may think that is how Americans say, "I'm making a parody and not trying to profit directly from your work".

So, Phil uses Amazon's design as a spoof for a resume. Aside from the is it copyright or not discussion, I am curios how this differs greatly from people leveraging the svbtle theme?

Every time someone does that, multiple people pop their heads up and talk about blatant ripoff (even when credit is given).

Sure, we have Amazon as e-commerce and this is a resume, where the other case are both essentially blogs. But, you have two cases of people using the design of someone (or something) else for their own purposes.

And, the argument that "people using the svbtle theme are trying to leverage the popularity of svbtle.com to gain legitimacy" is likely the minority. Most people like it for it's cleanliness/simplicity.

Not impossible, but also most sensible people won't think "some people on YouTube seem to think this works, so I'll do that" any more than they'll go to Yahoo Answers to find out the proper approach... there's just so much obvious foolishness on display.

Hmm, as a recruiter who looks at hundreds of resumes a day, this kind of non-standard resume really annoys me. Just tell me who you are and what you do. Do so clearly and succinctly.

I keep clicking on "1 star" reviews but it doesn't show me anything!!! ;-)

Personally, I think he should add some one-star reviews -- nothing so serious as an ex-girlfriend please, but something perhaps from a drive-by troll, or someone who's clearly mixing him up with a completely different product, or someone who took a dislike because of something completely innocuous.
