I'm surprised more people haven't commented about this. I think what you're doing is awesome.

I've always been hesitant in buying online storage because so many companies say my files would be encrypted on their servers, e.g. Google and Amazon, but in fact, they only encrypt data when it's at-rest or when it's not available online. So while their servers are up and running my files are unencrypted, available online to anyone who can access my account? I think when a company says 'my files are encrypted on their servers' that means in-motion and at-rest, not only when their servers shutdown. Storage providers like Google and Amazon don't actually encrypt customer files because their encryption takes place when their servers aren't in use.

I like the sound of my files being transferred over SSL through HTTPS, not a special service, then encrypted using AES 256-bit at the same time my files are being uploaded. That's sweet dude. And, I don't have to upload terabytes of data to pay only $0.10/gb!

This is spam. Their product isn't innovative or even interesting. They're not doing anything new. Google Analytics and Microsoft's AdCenter give merchants the same information.

That's not good enough; it's too common. Sentence structure can't be copyrighted, just as common design elements can't be copyrighted. Show us HTML or CSS blocks that are exactly the same or slightly tweaked on both websites.

Unfortunately, the title is very misleading. I was looking forward to reading about how to "properly" do it.

Website plagiarism is one of the hardest things to prove because the proof can't be design similarity; even though, the website's design is intellectual property and copyrighted. The de facto for website developers has been to include a code in their images and to replace common design elements with company logos (or graphics specific to their organization).

Has the website in question taken graphics and company-specific elements as well? No, they haven't; so, there isn't enough to claim plagiarism. I think both websites are using common layout designs.
