Me A Thief?
Wow what an accusation! A certain KATE of ROCK-KITTY.NET accused me of stealing her graphics and used it on my created theme called VIVACITY. She left the below message as comment in my previous post.
You’re a thief!! You’re not allowed to use my graphics to make your own theme of them! I’ve already reported you to Matt! Thief!!

I had a different domain before this one, just in case you’ll start wondering why I said “I started creating WP Themes since 2003″. I intentionally added our domain details here for you to compare the time difference.
Now my dear Kate, I am sure you can imagine how angry I am at the moment. You’re lucky you are out of my reach orelse I have scratched out your eyes already. See, if you possess enough brain in your head…you should have contacted me first, so we could clear things before unrighteously accusing me and reporting me to Matt. Stealing is the last thing I would ever do girl. What you did was a big big mistake, now I’m going to stuff your mouth with the truth.
I honestly never heard of you, not until the moment you left that nerve-rocking comment. With the help of great GOOGLE, I found your whereabouts. I simply put your email address, pressed enter…et voila, I got everything what I need. So, I went to your site to find out what you mean, there I saw a theme you created named “nicecolors“. The layout graphic look very similar indeed to my Vivacity theme. But girl, how can you say I have stolen your graphics, you created it around ‎April ‎19, 2007, â€â€Žwhereas Vivacity on the other hand was made January 16, 2006. Well, I’m not only giving you dates of creations but below is the link of Vivacity’s PSD file.
Vivacity PSD *Warning: You are granted the permission to download my very own PSD file, but take note: never ever claim it as yours orelse you will be in deep trouble!
Download it, and look at it layer per layer. Do as you are told, and when you are done, come back here and tell me again that I am a THIEF!
You have done the damage, now mend it thru asking apology in public and tell Matt you were wrong. Show me you have balls!

dont pay so much attention to her. shes a slut. shes a nobody. she has a high tendency of narcissism…she even makes unnecessary threats towards people….
you are a *beep* KATE! u will always always be ONE!
That was a very good defense you got there Beng! Did you link Matt and her? I would. I would even leave a comment on their blogs with a simple note that says: “Here is my response to your accusation” such that they would know that this post exists. There’s nothing wrong with doing it that way. It’s just so they would know that you’re not a chicken that just gonna swallow every crap they throw unto you.
We will always have those types of people in our society. But then again, what are the chances that one design could exactly be the same especially when it comes to graphics?
My experience with this is an entry I made on PPP, which is fully covered at http://www.ofwcenter.com. I wrote a paid on sub-prime. Being a finance guy, these are my areas and I could write these items eloquently.
One site copied the entire article and did not made any reference to my site. PPP saw it and charged me that they will suspend me if I continue to copy articles. I was furious!
I left several comments on the site with no response. I even emeailed the owner on the WHOIS that all came back. I wrote PPP that THEY were in fact the ones who stole my entry. I sent several of my finance entries to PPP to prove that I am indeed the writer. Finally, I sent them my resume because I was very angry. That’s how I fought. Do you know how much that post was? Only freaking $7!!!! And I don’t care even if that was $1, I’ll fry the damn shit like he won’t believe it because I don’t want people doing those kind of things.
In the end, PPP paid me $7. A very hard earned $7. Less tax and everything, probablly $1.
But it was a good feeling.
:bouncy :bouncy
Hi Reynz, I indeed left a message on her site but she deleted it the next day. Based sa kuwento mo, allow me to say na pareho tayo ng paninidigan pagdating sa ganito. I dont’t give a damn what people say sa naging reaction ko dito at kong bakit ko ito dito inilathala. Ha! I did it on purpose so people will see na hindi nila ako kayang apakan.
I can relate dahil ito rin ang naramdaman ko. I mean oo nga walang winner or looser dito sa aming labanan pero the fact na nailabas ko dito ang buong galit ko at ang katutuhanan, is reason enough for me to feel better.
oo nga, kanto (un)lady…hinde, palengkera talaga kasi yung mga nasa kanto mas tahimik pa eh. sya rin yung sumasakay sa issue ng utang at ako rin ang pinariringgan na kala mo alam na alam yung issue. umaalyas ba. kaya pinipilit kong pagdugtong-dugtongin yung mga clues. so far things are falling into place. ang hirap lang dito sa palengkerang toh, she’s just as good as anonymous since peke yung domain at kung sino-sinong walt disney character ang ginagamit in addition to her market name. gusto ko na ngang i-apply yung pekeng domain na ginagamit nya eh baka biglang magkaroon ng rank :D
ang bilis mong sumagot. salamat. :)
pano naman akong hindi tatahimik eh yung sinasabing pinaggayahan ko eh older sa site ko so talagang may appearance of evil kahit hindi ko pa nakita ever. sabi mo nga ‘coincidence’ happens. sa bus nga namin brine-brainstorm ng asawa ko yung itsura habang papauwi palang. pagdating ng bahay ginawa agad para una maka-submit para di sabihin na kumuha ng idea sa ibang entry. anak ng tinapay eh dun din ang kinabagsakan, mas malala pa. ayoko lang talagang patulan at bahala na yung Tagapaghiganti ko. Pero you did well. Hindi palengkera. May breeding. Ok lang sana kung joke lang. Kaso war-freak talaga yata eh. Meron namang isang magandang nangyari as a result…dahil sa umatras ako at madalang na ko pumunta sa palasyo dahil dun sa palengkerang yun, nakapag-blog hopping ako and i’ve discovered a lot of other sites na worth spending my time on. dumami na rin mga blogs ko kakaeksperimento kung pano kumita online. :D
hahaha, white leghorn breeding ikamo? :bigsmile
okay, kidding aside. oo nga naman…minsan hindi maiiwasan ang mga sitwasyong ganito. lalo na sa pagde-design or imbento at kahit nga sa pagbili ng damit :D di maiwasang may kapareho kahit sa butik ka pa mamili.
oy madami kang site? mabuti ka pa, i have 5 all in all pero dito lang ako nag-a upadate. i’m so tamad naman kasi tapos kulang pa sa oras dahil sa trabaho ko. regarding site monetizing, sinumulan ko ito dito last december, tapos ang resulta…ibinagsak ng google ang rank ko. putsa, lumiit tuloy ang halaga ng mga opps ko.
*whisper sino ba yang palengkerang yan or better to say kanto lady?
