Ang, you don't know that they didn't create that special effect themselves, and it's the fact that if YOU 'code' something, whatever it may be, you have sole copyrights to THAT code as it is on your site integrated with your other items. Taking someone's else's code is theft. If you create a table you have copyright to THAT table. But if you copy and paste a table from someone else's website, that's theft and copyright infringement. And 'yes' maybe they created it or maybe they had permission to USE it, but you taking it with copy/paste is still theft and copyright infringement.
So as a rule of thumb, if you didn't create it, coding or artwork, you can't just take it and use it. And what makes this whole thing ludicrous is there are sites for learning html, xhml, css, THAT ALLOW YOU TO USE THEIR CODING to help you learn how to do it. So there is absolutely no reason to steal someone's else site design through their coding.....and that's what Bazze is fighting, the coding designates 'how the site will look, it's design' so the guy doing this is stealing, it's lazy, it's wrong, it's criminal, and should be punished...
