I have never had an issue, because I tell clients to send me samples of websites that they like, and that I will use them for inspiration. I explain I can't just copy the website. I now have a client that did just that - I changed colors, added a header for his logo - rounded things out - changed the layout a bit, and had an "inspired" design. The client sent me back an image he modified with Photoshop, and told me to remove the header, change the colors to black and grey. He basically made it look exactly like the site he sent me for inspiration. It is nice to know - that since I coded the site from scratch, and created my own images, I am not plagiarizing the site - but it still does not feel right. Normally I would tell him to take a hike - but I really need the money, and he has a second site (that will pay double the first site) for me to do. I know if I tell him to take a hike - he will find a different developer to create it for him, and since I coded everything from scratch, I guess I can sleep well. If I ever hear from the original site creator, I will refer him to my client, and the email the client sent me with the image and instructions. He can fight that fight. Didn't even leave my website for the link, as I am a bit concerned what the other developers reading this might think. :) Though it might be nice to hear from others that have been put in a similar situation.
