Ripped version:
http://www.yori.nl

I wish I could find the address / name of this lil' ripper, but google is helpless on this case...

Anyone might know who's behind this website?
Link at bottom-right corner of page: http://yoripuntnl.hyves.nl/

Leads to "private" profile page of "Yori Punt NL", including a photo:

Additional info gleaned from Google search:

"Yori Bonnema. Title: Owner, Yori Punt NL; Demographic info: Publishing | Utrecht Area, Netherlands. Current: Owner at Yori Punt NL."

Searched for "Yori Bonnema" and found his Facebook profile (with the same profile picture): http://nl-nl.facebook.com/YoriPuntNL

I sent him a message on your behalf:

Yori,

the people you stole your website design and content from for http://www.yori.nl/ are pissed off. Take it down and don't do that again.

Yori also lists jamesking.nl (a T-shirt company) on his bio; perhaps he works for them.

heh that's really advanced stalking system

Clement I think you should take it as a compliment and send him nice decorated autograph.

I don't think that pissing off, sending dodgy emails, threatening will help at all...
No, no threatening planned! I'm not that kind of guy...

But still, when you publish your creative portfolio online, the least thing is to illustrate it with your own creations!!
Usually I would say: Imitation is the compliment of those with no own ideas and creativity, but that's very cheeky!

That's pure, blatant and most of all stupidly obvious plagiarism!

I especially like the little detail in the footer that says “Š2010 YORI”!!

Copying the layout of a website is one thing (and it happens all the time), but using the screenshots and photographs of someone else and without even asking (not to mention without copyright) is another.

I would send him an email, telling him, that you like the pictures and then ask him, to take 'em down, because they show your work…
haha
