A friend just brought a website to my attention. Excuse the need for copy/paste but I do NOT wanna give this thief any googly goodness.

www.poweryourwordpress.com/

The reason this site was brought to my attention is because I release my WordPress themes free for noncommercial use under the Creative Commons license. That’s for NON-COMMERCIAL use. I have a theme available for download called kickass-boxes in blue.

This thief has basically packaged 150 themes and a bunch of WP plug ins CREATED BY OTHER PEOPLE and is selling the whole thing in a package to sploggers. Which means he is making dough off of other people’s hard work. One of the themes listed is “Blue Cubes”. Is it mine? Maybe, maybe not, I dunno, and I’m not gonna pay the thief to find out.

The worst part of it is who he’s selling this to– people who will never write an original word, will burden the web with dupe content, and will end up devaluing and diluting ALL blogs in the search engines.

I gotta wonder if he’s an Adwords user . . . click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. click. Just in case y’all see one of his ads . . .
