LogoMad: LOGO THEFT IS THE WAY

Last year, Dan Cederholm redesigned SimpleBits.

Now, LogoMaid has "been inspired by" Dan's logo and is reselling it.

Update: as Dan says, "it gets better, folks":

>The main shape according to our designer is a font symbol and you do not have the rights to claim ownership to freeware font symbols.

>Other than the actual shape, I see no relevance.

>Our logo was registered at c-site, the registration has been approved. According to c-site, we own the copyrights to that actual logo.

>We do not need to steal anyones ideas.
