WebSapient's Plagiarism

WebSapient's Plagiarism

This is not cool. Not so cool at all. I don't know Marco Palinar personally but for some asshole to steal his works and put it up as their own isn't just plagiarism but totally wrong.

According to WebSapient's About Us page, the so-called design company claims to be:

...an experienced and well established web design company specializing in website design and e-commerce development. We have designed, shaped and launched hundreds of successful websites since our beginning, for many different types of businesses around the World.

It's the biggest pile of bullshit I've ever seen. WebSapient may have taken down its portfolio page but thanks to Liz's screenshots, the whole WebSapient site is full of crap now.

WebSapient shouldn't do that to Marco or to anyone. I hope Marco or someone make an action about this plagiarism, so that WebSapient will learn from their mistake.
