Don't STEAL Mah SHIT

"On June 8th, we received your written notification concerning the alleged infringement by one of our subscribers of content owned by alterposer.webs.com.

We informed the relevant subscriber of your allegations, and in response, the subscriber has provided us with a counter notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512 (g)(3).

In view of the foregoing, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2)(C), Webs must restore the content within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days of our receipt of the counter notification, unless you inform us before hand that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain our subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to alterposer.webs.com."

Thanks to a tip via Twitter, in the last two weeks (going on three) I have been battling between Webs and a 'subscriber' who will remain unnamed. This subscriber has stolen/copied Copyrighted materials off this site and a few other sites that I own and or maintain. It has been a tiring event and I even (for a moment) succeeded to get this subscribers site suspended. Though a day later I received a new email from Webs abuse team saying that the subscriber countered my NOI so now the site is back up. It sucks when someone steals your stuff and doesn't credit you. Don't get me wrong I had my fair share of doing bad deeds myself some on purpose but most surprisingly didn't know about.


So now I will be requesting that Webs updates it means of importing and using outside/custom style sheets.


If Webs would to support @import then so much worry would be lifted off my shoulders, and I'm sure every designer that makes custom templates for the Webs platform out there.


Just FYI on this template, I do not give anyone permission to use this theme. If you know anyone who is using/distributing it please contact me A.S.A.P.


I also would like to thank everyone who has helped me out by gathering up evidence and even trying to calm me down. I was surprised so many of you came forward.
