One other Twitter comments reveals that they probably just asked an AI to copy Papermark. Evidenced by AI comments saying the page was aligned to the "reference"
Unreal. I had to go back to the original Tweet to confirm that screenshot wasn’t faked.
The comment clearly says “Mirror’s the reference design’s”
I don’t know how they could try to spin that as anything other than having an LLM launder someone’s code as a “reference design”
Even if they try to argue that the “reference design” was Figma, the identical copy means they had to have copied Papermark into the reference design.
The fact that they’re refusing to back down and admit they made a mistake is not a good sign for the company. I would not want to be one of their clients when it came to trying to dispute something.

I wish this were true, but the current political and corporate climate is that nearly anything is justifiable as long as you win, where winning is money or power. Fraud, corruption, extortion, etc.

I find most b2b transactions are hostile, and the purpose of sales or customer success is to smooth over the hostility. Tremendously more true in the B2C space, and only accelerated by the aforementioned political and corporate climate.
In other words, as long as their staff is charismatic / crafty enough, this “scandal” will slough right off.
