You wouldn't know this unless you've been to Shadowness while they had V3 Ensnare up. I don't hink that frione.tk ripped any images. However, he uses Meng To's image in his staff photo and he calls himself 7shadows when he post on people's tagboards and forums. Anyone who knows Meng also knows that he uses the handle 7shadows almost everywhere. Using the 7shadows handle and Meng's photo are both cheap ways to get hits if you ask me.
For proof of him using the handle 7shadows on tagboards click here. This is Noiz22's shout box. I have also seen him use the name on Shuni Designs' tag board and at a few other sites as well.
Incase you've never ben to shadowness here is the url. They have V2 back up so you won't really see any similarities..

do not know about the name, but do not see anything similar in the layout:
I don't see any layout similarities either. This is a handle and photo rip. I thik frione did it to get more hits.
I guess he must really like Meng, and he can be considered as his source of inspiration. You gotta count today's artists in the same spectrum as the old grates. Just like how Picasso inspires people, modern artists have the same appeal if not more (in my opinion).
