This outright cut-and-paste demonstration has to take the cake as the absolute dumbest hack job of 2006. In fact, plagiarizing a copyright statement may take the cake as the dumbest stunt of all.

It's so often lazy and stupid go hand-in-hand, but not quite so smoothly as taking an entire web page about copy rights, substituting your name for the original author's, and calling it good. This hack went so far as to leave my name in the meta tags, and add their own, as if this exercise in poor judgment was some kind of collaborative effort between Equine Web Design and Antiquarian Traders' web dee signer, John Kraus aka Mr.INTER.NET:
<meta name="Author" content="Robin Witt + john Kraus contact: webmaster at MrINTER.NET">

Seriously, I've never seen anyone so thoroughly numb they would copy a copyright statement as specific as ours, complete with warnings, and publish it as their own. Never. With mere days left for voting in 2006, Mr.INTER.NET himself, John Kraus, is officially awarded Equine Web Design's Copyright Hack of 2006 Award.

Per usual, see our side-by-side comparisons here. Enjoy.
