So, YC backs startup clones now?

We've been noticing Backpackbang is scraping our entire site, daily + linking to all our images.

Also, they ripped off the exact design of the explore page design. Nice.

We've seen clones before, but pretty crazy to see this from a YC-backed company. Disappointing.

    Maybe you should add watermark to your images & start blocking their scrappers for now.

    The traditional debate in accounting is "Make, or Buy?"

    Theft is cheaper than either.
