Over the past 9 years Logiscape has seen many of its conceptions "used" by exchanges that followed. But I never came into forums or blogs and posted about how so-and-so stole our ideas, etc. It's just not good business form. Now, if somebody completely rips off your entire program (which one exchange did - completely copying ts25), then by all means stand up. But a little idea here and a little idea there, no big deal. The fact that more than one exchange wants to use the idea or concept means that it was probably a good one. It's when nobody wants to "copy" you that you have a problem! And the last thing to consider is that often things are in the works for months or maybe even a couple years, so it is hard to pull the "copy" card since others may have had the same idea as you and been working on it simultaneously. In the case of this desktop app, Logiscape also has one in development for a future project and this was started many many months ago. I’m with Paul on this one.

I just took a look at DST and I don't see much similarity between our designs. The thought had never even crossed my mind that you copied us and I still don't think you did. The universe is vast and design possibilities infinite. Traffic Planets had a space theme too but I'm pretty sure neither of us were thinking about their design when we did ours too. There's just no comparison. I don't complain about the dolphin or splash themed exchanges that have sprung up since I took over Traffic-Splash and that's far more plagiaristic than either you or I have been. I don't complain about all the exchanges that have Surf Rewards either, or Flipper copies, or other things. I'm actually quite proud Surf Rewards has been stolen so often the term is now generic. Just means I have to keep coming up with new stuff to stay ahead of those who keep stripping away my USP's one by one. Annoying, but no biggie. Life's too short to be so worried about these things dude. All I do is just keep making my biz the best it can be for my members. Seems to work and makes me a Happy Splasher too! :-) Kjell, the base design for Tezak Traffic Power was completed in March 2008.

TTP was being talked about last year in a seminar in Washington DC, waaaaaay before your exchange was conjured up. As for the broadcaster or what you call it, ask David Foley about it, this has been in the works for months, you had nothing to do with it, sorry man. Kudos for launching first, but save me the 'you stole it from me' bit. Let's not start a ruckus please. Whoa LOL Dude.
