Second of all, you are accusing my friend Jason of plagiarism. I consider that quite offensive. He put a lot of hard work into that website. Sure, the fact that he used the idea of putting electronic media on virtual paper but no one even knows who did that in the first place. It's like saying people who make webpages with a menu bar stole the idea of a menu bar or that people who paintings with perspective stole the idea of using perspective. The only way to make progress is by looking to the past. There is nothing wrong with using a concept and making something new out of it. I believe Jason did just that. The wtfz webpage feels cold, harsh, bitter. I also find the scroll buttons to be clever.
So get off your moral high horse because you have no arguement here. Jason stole nothing. He simply used a technique, an approach to making a website and adapted it to his unique style. Saying that he "stole the very original and unique idea The Plague created, touched it up a bit, and passed it off as his own" is not only untrue but also slanderous and insulting.
