People who rips off other people’s work are lame. Glad it got taken offline that fast

On the other hand, nobody is able to avoid that crappy people love to be copycats and claim your stuff. Let’s hope this copycat has learned his/her from this action.

It’s the same when people just blatantly use things without giving the proper credit, link to the provider. And if you are going to customize a theme, you have to acknowledge that it is not yours originally. Not just call it your own.

That sucks so much that someone ripped off your theme. I am glad that they took the right action and deleted it! Also just wanted to say your theme is really nice!

I’ve had a few people rip off themes from me. I was tempted to submit a few of my free ones to wordpress and then decided against it because of the lack of originality people seem to have these days when “making something their own”. There’s a big difference in creating a new theme with a current themes ideas than to completely rip someone off. It’s absurd!

It sucks what that guy did but at least you were able to get it straightened out to some degree.

Hope it doesn’t happen again.
