8hu Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 https://stntrading.eu/ Look at it. The front page is very similar- tagline, item categories are similar- only difference is that they have CS:GO stuff on it. Just wanted to let you guys know. They're not a threat at all- their bot inventories are pitiful, but they should probably get a different UI, don't you think? recreational™ nuclear™ bombs™ 1 Link to comment
Jenny🖤 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Site seems pretty similar yeah. Though trading CS:GO skins for refined metal and vice versa is interesting part EDIT: Huh it seems that they have slightly lowered prices on skins when you sell/buy for/with ref That's actually aprox. 0.70$ in ref if we assume one ref is 0.11$, meaning you save about 0.11$ (1 ref) buying it another edit: So i contacted them about this and found the answer why it works like that Edited August 22, 2016 by JSS~<3 Link to comment
Developer purple horse Posted August 23, 2016 Developer Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 There's a few like these, but that's gotta be the most direct one. Melthemia 1 Link to comment
Dima Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 As an artist, it's sickening how people cannot think of their own ideas and have to ripoff other people's work. ★Jessica 1 Link to comment
3xlneet Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Geel also is not very happy about said ripoff. But yeah, it is very similar Link to comment

Shebby Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Isn't ScrapTF format copyrighted? " Copyright 2016 ScrapTF, LLC " I went and compared the websites starting pages side by side, and holy shit, this is completely stolen. Edited August 27, 2016 by ★Shebby Link to comment

Anyways, the design is pretty similar but not a direct ripoff using every single style. Link to comment
★Jessica Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I don't like memes, but this just nails the spot to the ripoff. Link to comment
recreational™ nuclear™ bombs™ Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Why do people even do this? Sickens me. Link to comment
spyfly Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 There aren't that many simlarities at all. Alright, the Status thing might be simlar, but at all we kinda made our own design. Also I didn't stole design at any part, all coded on my own, I might oriented a bit. You might hate it or not, but there should be alternatives to scrap.tf. Now I just need to add Scrapbanking .

spyfly Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Alright, so this is how the ScrapTF Community thinks. I collected the opinion of the STN.tf Community: http://www.strawpoll.me/11204632/r Link to comment
FloKS Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Scrap.tf keys bank dont work scrap.tf do stupid discounts buying scrap.tf got a lot of bugs scrap.tf is a bullshit and on stn.tf i dont got any errors Link to comment
decontamin4t0R Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 w000t xD scrap.tf has got such a biiiig gap between buying and selling this is....shit I'd never sell things to scrap.tf I dont think that stn.tf is a ripoff, bc. they've got their own images, design etc. Actually, therer arent even many similiarietes, as scrap.tf is ´just the website, no need to send trade-offers.

EagL Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a design, changing and improving it and then using it. A rip-off would be just straight out copying it. A problem I see with scrap.tf is that they almost don't have any competition at all. so I think it's really good that someone tries to make something better. Also, ideas aren't protected by copyright afaik. Sure, code is but I'm pretty sure stn.tf didn't copy scrap.tf's code.

Jenny🖤 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) okay guys calm down. This site bears some graphical similarities, yes, it have similar ideas, yes, but it have some things it does differently. Is it ripoff territory already, taking inspiration or pure coincidence, iunno that's for you to decide yourself, just pls don't make any silly wars between sites, nobody will win and it'll just leave bitter taste in mouth as everybody throws rotten tomatoes at each other.

Well we appreciate that you all felt the need to come here to defend the site, but the fact of the matter is that it bears a striking resemblance to Scrap.TF -- and that is obvious to anyone who is familiar with Scrap.TF's design. I would personally suggest giving the design a revamp to give it an air of legitimacy, else I believe it'll just be seen as another "Scrap.TF clone". Link to comment

Just as a side note, designs are copyrighted -- changing/improving them and using it is irrelevant as it still constitutes copyright infringement. You might be thinking of "fair use", which almost certainly wouldn't apply in this case as there's a commercial aspect involved. Link to comment
decontamin4t0R Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 as long as he isnt directly copy-and-pasting the design there is no copyright voided. Link to comment

Simple Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 In my Opinion, No, our way of working is waayyy different than scrap.tf. Spyfly did coded everything on his own, and I'm proud of working along with this community. I totally agree that creating website war will lead to nothing but rotten tomatoes, we just want to keep growing and improve trading community in general, and of course a little competition won't be that harmfull. Competition to make traders a lot more happy is the whole meaning isn't it? STN Price Moderator, Simple Link to comment
