Love the story of Redfin clone gone…
…wrong. Website development is hard stuff, even when you know exactly what you want to build.

Why would anyone want to clone Redfin?

Jeff: That was my reaction too…
Their functionality is great, but cloning another site is just asking for trouble on a bunch of different levels and shows a real lack of understanding about the web. It takes plagiarism to a whole new level!

Wow. The Redfin attorney’s could have a field day with this guy. $10K may be the least of his problems.
On the REW forum he said, “My project on getacoder.com was for a Redfin.com clone, in all functionalities and appearance.”
Someone “clones” one of my sites in “all functionalities and appearance” and I’m coming after them with everything I can muster.
And Redfin has just a wee bit deeper pockets than I do.
Amazing….
