Gawain, only people who lack the skills or creativity to do it themselves, and who KNOW they’re deficient in skill use this particular argument. And the care you took to stay anonymous also labels you a person who most likely steals from other people, otherwise why not tell us who you are?

I think your all fucking assholes.
the people you call scumbags ar just distributing a file wich would be very hard to find if it would be only in your page.
Fuck you all and fuck your propety rights.
In a non-capitalist society where there are no property rights everyone would share everything and you shitheads would be isolated in your egocentric shitheads mind.
Once again fuck you all

Well, “John” may not be the thief in question, but my guess is he’s another of the same ilk…. otherwise why post at all?

Again…. scum of the earth. The bottom line is obviously beyond his minimal brain power: without permission NO ONE should have your themes available for download.

What’s hard about that?

So far the only other place that has ONE of my theme files available for download besides this site that I KNOW ABOUT is a site that gives me a linkback, and it was my decision to have that one theme available there. IF there are other sites that are making my themes available for download I want to know about it. I make it very clear in my Terms and Conditions that my themes are available for NONCOMMERCIAL USE, and that I retain copyright. What is so difficult to understand about that? Redistribution is not USE. Redistribution is not a linkback. And redistribution on an adsense site that is commercially benefitting by offering MY work without my permission is clearly not allowed under my TOS.

If you create stuff you have a right to release it any way you want, and if you wish to allow redistribution that’s YOUR decision. I do not allow it.

And personally I see NO benefit to my name being on an adsense splog site. Quite the opposite, actually.

No I’m not the guy who owns icravewordpress. I just think that if you’re going to allow your files for download and allow them on other sites, then what’s the problem? He’s not stealing your work since it is publicly available for download on several sites and he’s not selling it either. He’s allowing it for download which is actually getting your name out there since your name and info is in the files. Therefore the only thing he is doing is benefiting you and I don’t know if you have a link to your website in the files but maybe you should add it and then submit to him. If someone stole my work and was selling it, I’d be pretty mad but not if they were redistributing it for me and getting my name out there. Its free advertising.
