Latest Update : Jun 07 2007. They removed those themes from their site. Thanks to everyone who have supported me.Thank you very much !

Everyday I spend quite a lot of my personal times in building and supporting quality wordpress themes, like MistyLook.

Then someone comes from out of the blue, downloads the theme, edit the footer and add his own links and share the theme for download.
It is definitely against my wishes and it is quite disheartening.

I have been crying in my License Page asking people not to do that, but some people do not want to listen.

They just want to get a lot of back links, by STEALING other people’s work.

No, it is not just my themes. He has taken the works of many of the wordpress theme authors like Andreas Viklund, Brian Gardner etc.

The latest one I found is http://www.hosting-review.com . See http://hosting-review.com/wordpress-themes/free-templates.shtml .
~~I tried to contact them using their contact page, but that is broken.~~

The contact page seems to be working now. If you have a minute, please let them know your views. Thanks.

I have no words to express how hurt I am, but I will just say to the owner of hosting-review.com “Consider yourself a thief !“

Shameless Rip-off of MistyLook

Theme Removed from his website, due to all of your support !.
Thanks Friends !

This guy by name Charles, rips off our MistyLook theme, removes all the footer links and release it as “Timeless”.

If you go to his page at http://blog-themes.xynfo.com/free-wordpress-theme-timeless-10-released/ please let him know what he has done is not right and against the license of this theme.

Shame on this guy [ Resolved ]

That guy has responded and removed my theme from his site, so it can be downloaded only from our sites.
I also changed the license information page on this website to reflect some of the recent happenings.

Thanks to everyone who fought for us in this regard.

Recently I am seeing a couple of new websites popping up, that want to make a quick buck by using other people’s talent.

Yes. Those people are not creating new themes by themselves. They just download themes from other site and host it on their server. The worst part of that is, they add their own links also into the footer.

Oh My God !

We put so much time and effort into each one of our themes, and all of a sudden, someone will just take it, add their link in the footer, and put it up on their site.
How cruel it is !!!

I posted a comment on one of such websites and there were no reply, but they did not stop.
I will give them one more day to fix this issue, or I will expose them in the coming days.

You tell me What I should do with this kind of people !?? This really irritates me.
