In what way does copying another site's design and HTML "move the web forward?"

If anything, doing that holds the web back.

The only two options are never "not launch" and "launch but rip off another site's content."

Themes range from $0 to $30. No excuse for lifting a design wholesale.

Because the design isn't the only point of it. He has some back end stuff that adds value. He can get a pass on the design in my book just as long as he gets his backend out.
