> It isn't them using basic ideas like a top nav or usernames

By "basic ideas" I assume you mean "ideas that are better and more useful, and therefore more widely ripped off."

Your argument reminds me of when people say such-and-such band is so original -- yet it's another four guys playing guitar, bass, drums and vocals.

My argument is that Zynga stole another band's style and lyrics but changed the presentation slightly. They did not build on the 'basic ideas' like having a certain set of instruments.
