It sucks, I know themes were made to be shared but it's annoying when someone takes one of your themes and make it their own. It's not so much the site itself because they can't determine who the author is. It's the person who take someone elses themes and upload to a difference site as their own with no credit to the real author of the theme.
Here's a place that takes other peoples themes and selling it.

its a shame that people still steal themes.

people take a lot of time and effort for these themes to be made, many just for them to be leached.

Daylight robbery! There should be a way to take action against such people, though I can imagine the trouble it would be... Protecting intellectual property rights seems a little more difficult than other traditional works.

IP rights mean nothing if neither party loses anything financially, since that is the only reason why they exist. And the law is not going to start bothering protecting such simple cases considering that even the rights of musical artists and other people in the media industry are hardly protected.

try using DRM on your theme files. i think you can add tags to show you own the file when ppl look it up on there phone.

DRM also locks your files so ppl can't steal them by bluejacking your phone.

DRM protected files appear on your mobile with a key symbol.

you can get DRM at http://developer.sonyericsson.com/

register and do a search for DRM [addsig]

Heres what I do with my own themes...

If I modified someone elses theme to make it better; I give the credit to him by having the original maker unchanged in the themes information...
If I build a new theme from scratch I post a preview on my website
and those who want to download it must e-mail me and in return I Place his E-mail Add on a downloaded theme so if ever he/she posts it somewhere else, he/she will be known to all ESATO users as an idiot, and I might just try crashing his phone next time....
Heres My Theme:(please PM me so I can give you my E-mail Add)

Not that I'm not for the practive of taking credit of others themes but aren't we doing the same by using others wallpapers without giving proper credit to the original creator ?

Edit: forgot the "not" between the I'm and for, makes more sence now

I have stopped making themes all together

Made alot of themes before - and hosted them on my site as well as on esato and on mobile9

But eventually I got tired of finding my themes everywhere with others taking credit for them - its no so much a problem if people post ones themes and gives you the credit - but its annoying when others take the credit for the work - or even when I find official sms sites is selling my themes and making money on my work.

I know how it is, that's why I stopped also but I do continue (only for me) and I just upload it on my website so other's can use it if they want but yeah I see sometimes my themes on other sites and I don't care anymore because those sites have such a huge database that the theme get easilly behind in a couple of days and eassily forgotton ... .
