Someone seems to have stolen the work I have done on
http://www.paperdir.com/

and pasted it into the templates at
http://www.globalittraining.com/

(looks like its owned by http://www.exforsys.com/)

I assume that because they are using wsnliks and my templates that they found my site via these forums.

Paul, do you ever revoke licenses? If so would something like this be reason to do so? (providing they don't stop on their own)

I could be blind, but I see no resemblance between your site and theirs? Looks like a default install to me.

Perhaps they already undid it. Anyhow, if someone is stealing templates there's no reason to think they'd pay for the script. Even if they did there's nothing I can do to make them uninstall, so the web host and lawyers are the only ones capable of influence. I could withhold support but that's about it.

This one does seem to be a legal customer, index.php?action=checkowner shows their contact email if needed.

By the way, the last item on your tab menu ("Hardware") is wrapping onto two lines awkwardly (Opera 8.51, 1024x768).

I normally test in firefox and IE, will download opera a bit later.

Looks like he is taking care of the copyright issue. Apparantly he is paying a person at rentacoder to come up with a similiar design and the template that was online was the first attempt. He has removed the previous templates after getting an e-mail from me.

Actually I really don't mind people using any of the elements in my templates or even asking for help on how to do it themselves, but a copy paste of everthing under templates/default/ is a little too much.
