Oops they did it again…. !

A healthy excercize that we do at a regular basis is check out the competition website. Annnd guess what I found this morning. They have copied us again!!!!

Look at their ‘Follow us’ icons on the homepage. And you know ours ;-)




First they try to get our bloggers (Refer to Disha's post here) and now our Layout!!

So heres what we are gonna do - make a better, finer 'Follow us' because - we love to lead. ;-)

@Anisha I never imagined on the lines you have mentioned! But tell me one thing - say, after about 8 weeks, how do you say 'who copied who'? There never has been a doubt about RCB site being the best - it is documented/published too!

One suggestion I have is that RCB should copy a small, simple feature from KXI site and give the credit to them with a line " Idea taken from URL .... Thanks to KXI"

@ Poshin - Im sooooo proud to be an RCBian because of amazing family members like you. You make me proud.

@ Raghu - We are not thinking of suing them for copying them.... It is OK otherwise. You have missed my point here which is that RC website is highly noticed and that other teams copying us just a confirmed reassurance that we are the best!

@ Mahesh - Hahaha... Just keep sending to Katrina next time. :-)

Same thing happened to me today. KKR approached me! I turned down an opportunity to meet Ganguly!!

Whatever, whoever, whenever, don't care what they say
We are RCBians and we are here to stay

@dhempe- KXIP will be the last team I'd root for :)

@Anisha

The IPL owners are all friendly with each other. So it's OK to copy.

Secondly, copying the website will not help the opponents win, right? So no issues.

There is still a way to checkmate them, if you want to:

For each page, you add a line "Designed and created on ....."

Well, I have seen this design on a number of websites long before RCB got it.. So it's not copying, it's just feeling inspired from somewhere about something! And we can't sue them, because it isn't copyrighted.
But hey, who knows whether KXIP did copy from us? Like we are looking at theirs, they might be looking at ours too.. After all we are the most popular franchisees with fans!
