#92I learned one thing: I will never use LayerVault's service, and discourage anyone I know from using it.
How about you look into the issue rather than making bold comments with no basis.

#93And here's a reply from Allan: https://news.layervault.com/stories/1992-layervault-whats-up... Looks like the pitchforks are out over on HN. It was pretty straightforward. Our reaction was "Cool, a flat UI theme" to "Wait, this looks familiar" to "Wait, are those our illustrations?". I contacted the designmodo people over email, because that's the right way to handle this. The owner was being stubborn at first and re…

#94Really glad I downloaded Flat UI yesterday before this crap started 'coz I'm gonna be using it for a project this weekend. Fortunately I only wanted the CSS. If an illustration was stolen (which seems unlikely, or at least it wasn't done with designmodo's knowledge), that won't affect me since I'm not using any of them.
Would you be kind enough to email me a copy.

#96Someone please lend LayerVault some contrast.

I cannot believe a "top notch" design house can get this so wrong.
Edit: Designer News seems to suffer from the same affliction.
A lot of sites that are HN these days seem to lack contrast, what's up with that?
Re: LayerVault Sends DMCA Takedown Letter re Flat-UI
#97Am I understanding this right; that LayerVault is trying to claim that they are the sole owners of the flat UI trend? I'm sorry Allan, I've been a fan of yours since before LayerVault was even launched, but this is really low. And if I'm remembering correctly, this isn't the first time you guys have harassed someone about using "your" aesthetic.
It's not about the flat UI trend. If you look at Layervault, their design is really unique and top notch. Flat UI-framework is heavily inspired by Layervault's design. There's no doubt about it. Same roundings, paddings, pastel color scheme, etc. They look visually extremely similar. LayerVault is obviously pissed that a design similar to their unique design will be used by amateur Bootstrappers all over the web.
"Heavily inspired" != copyright infringement. Sorry. Patent infringement would be closer but it is not copyright infringement.

#98I have the old pre-dmca Flat UI gitgub page from yesterday open in another window, and designmodo has apparently made a few changes since then. Just based on that, I'm going to guess that the problem was stemming from these.

#100The founder of LayerVault is claiming it was specific illustrations which were stolen https://twitter.com/Allan/status/309346292902014976 https://twitter.com/Allan/status/309350351054716929
This needs to be the top comment here, rather than people insinuating that LV called for a DMCA takedown because 'they look alike'
Bet on HN embarrassing itself every time on stories like this.
