    This is not the first time your site has shown up as a bought template. You've successfully had these taken down every time you've found them, but have the offending sites given you the names of the sellers so you can close them down as well?

    It's time you sought out the source!

    Then sue them.

    If they don't have any records of their purchses such that they can prove their designs originated with a third party, you have a hefty tort suit, tens of thousands of dollars perhaps. Dig up Internet caches to make sure the evidence exists, and have a lawyer draft a letter. If they don't disclose the source, follow through. Sue them. Make an example of one of these thiefs.

    Oh, I will if they don't comply.... this particular one hasn't complied and their reseller doesn't care either it seems (incognitonetworks.com). Anyhow, I've already leaned on the planet and will get them to shut down that resellers box if they won't comply... it might seem harsh, but we're ultra protective of our trademarks, copyright, ip...

    Actually a client of the designer contacted the designer, then he contacted us. Today I got the copyscape results and it was in there as well.

    Just wondering...

    What's the point of posting ripped sites here? If everyone posted them here it could fill up the whole forum.

    Maybe we can have a Fraud/Scam category?

    Oh and maybe part of the problem why your site gets ripped is that your website is in your designer's portfolio. It's a full working version instead of a screenshot. If the designer just showed a screenshot it would help prevent some theft.

    He showed up under some template search in google adwords, so people looking for templates can find him and just copy what he has very easily.

    Actually, he's pointing to our site last time I checked, but I will double check.

    I just think its a bad recipe... people looking for templates eventually end up at your website.

    I just checked and unless I'm missing something it's just a link to our website.

    And that makes stealing it right?

    Imho, if they do business here (and they do) people should know... if they remove it 'cos they didn't know, then people will see that too.

    Maybe we can have a Fraud/Scam category?
    That'd be an excellent idea...

    Please highlight where I said stealing it is right.

    If your goal is not to get your design stolen/copied then ONE SUGGESTION I have is not to have it in your designer's template portfolio.

    You didn't... but the fact that it is linked from the designers page shouldn't be an invitation, that's all...

    It's a valid suggestion, I'm merely pointing out that it's sad something like that would have to be done... tells me a lot about an industry and it's people...
