Old Time Fox Trotters : Template Theft
After the content area comes the "footer", the block of HTML code found near the very bottom of the web page. Consistent from start to finish, this final segment of code used on the Old Time Fox Trotters web site was also taken directly from Equine Web Design's template.

Again, the HTML code in the version published at oldtimefoxtrotters.com falls in identical order using identical style classes, including the obscure class used at Equine Web Design of hitcounter. Only the text within the copyright statements differs.
Given that the layout for Old Time Fox Trotters is nothing more than a reproduction of Equine Web Design's original design, the copyright notation added by Caprine Designs is woefully inappropriate. Publishing another person's work does not make it your own or transfer copy rights from the original author to the "imitator".
