Is making clones bad?
mixmax: I actually hacked up a clone of HN because I thought it would be nice with a hn-like site for "normal" news in Danish and there aren't any. I don't feel bad about it in any way because it doesn't infringe or subtract from HN since it's a totally different crowd.If you want you can check it out here: http://www.deloghersk.dk (still has a few bugs...)
