There’s an interesting conversation going on over at Weblog Tools Collection in the comments regarding copyright infringement on WordPress Themes. It’s something that has been discussed quite a few times in the past and probably will be discussed many more times in the future.

The question, as I see it, is: Is it ok, or not, to create a theme based on the work of someone else?

Are there really that many *new* ideas for themes anymore?

A lot of them are coded virtually identical, with the exception of CSS differences.

*UPDATE*

Well it seems like the conversation is over….and the theme in question has once again had it’s links activated.
