Hi there. Your www.ragingsmurf.com web site is suspiciously similar to
www.php.net. And looking at individual elements of your site it is
obvious that you cloned the look and feel of the php.net web site for your
own purposes without permission. The look and feel of something is
protected by the same laws that apply to unregistered trademarks. In
legal terms this look and feel is known as the "trade dress" for that
something. At the bottom of www.php.net you will find a copyright link
which takes you to: http://www.php.net/copyright.php
which mentions that
you cannot clone our site.
Please come up with your own design for your web site, or at the very
least steal from someone else please.
