Thats evident but isn't at all possible that he may have people posting their free themes at his (yet developed) website? The assumption that he would do something unethical says a lot about how you view websites that aren't your own and the people who post their free themes there.

Given that I received a PM alert in my mailbox from you this morning, I guess I registered there. I registered at a lot of sites the first week I bought my Curve. Looking at it, it is a nice site but I'm sure the OP is capable of having one also without stepping on others toes.

If you want to see what I am talking about, visit sites like blackberryfreaks.com, paste.ws or freebbthemes.com They have all leached themes from various site (including mine) and reposted the Zip files of the themes, without giving credit to the author of the theme. The person that runs freebbthemes.com at least links to the themes on my site rather than just host the zip file.

I understand your argument and respect your point of view but that is not the point. As far as I know the OP doesn't run those sites, nor did he say he was going to follow that example. For you to just assume that he's going to says a lot about you and that is why I am leary of patronizing your site. I know your response will probably be that it is my prerogative but if you truly care about the integrity of your site and its users, you would not represent it in a negative light.

As far is this person opening another site like that...he can do whatever he pleases..he just needs to know that there will be website owners and theme makers not happy with what he is doing...and they will ask him to remove the themes (not like it would ever happen...lord knows how many emails blackberryfreaks received).

Did he say he was going to open another site like that? Why would website owners and them makers be upset with what he is doing when he isn't DOING anything. He asked your opinion, gave his "business model", and got attacked for it. Please point out where he said he was going to take other people's themes without permission

I know he did not do "anything wrong"..and was asking for an opinion..well Peter and I gave him our opinion...at least he took the time to ask an opinion before registering a domain, setting up some server..and firing away.

You didn't give your opinion of what he asked, you gave your opinion of what you assumed he was going to do. That is two different things. Next time maybe you'll ask questions and if (and only if) you get answers you don't like then you can jump down his throat for being unethical. With your attitude, that could be why other sites haven't felt bad about ripping you off.
