Thanks for the theme, Seahorsepip. Looks really awesome ^_^ Does the paid theme have the dark borderless theme and the icons? If so, I'm going to purchase this theme just for that haha :)

Never heard of people selling themes

It must have something very special vs all the free ones

Nothing wrong with someone trying to earn money off their hard work, and the theme does look very nice. Besides:

Free version will be available after 4weeks when the final stable version is released, only payed version owners have access to pre-release versions starting today.

From his DeviantART page - If any of those deviants or some other deviant asks you for a copy of your paid version you should directly inform me about it and report him to deviantart!

I have a zero tolerance policy to piracy and I'll take every pirated link down with a DMCA claim if I have to.

If you want it for free download the FREE version above.

I'm sorry, but that's so funny, did Microsoft give you permission to distribute their copyrighted works? You are distributing shellstyle.dll owned and copyrighted by Microsoft. It's listed on the properties -> details tab -> Copyright Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved. You are also distributing shellstyle.dll.mui, probably owned my Microsoft as well, but I don't know about that one. I'm also pretty sure if I cracked opened the theme file itself I'd find tiny bit of Microsoft copyrighted code or a bitmap or something, but I don't care enough to actually do it.

Look, I don't care if you sell the whole OS and claim it as your own, but to get all high and mighty about DMCA bull****, while doing the same yourself is a bit laughable. You start reporting people for DMCA, and you'll probably get one yourself. You know something about glass houses and stones and something or another.

Nice theme btw, using the free version right now... maybe I'll pirate the paid version later.... ha ha just joking. :) or am I? :shiftyninja:

Yea something else doesn't seem right also:

Free modifications of the theme to your personal liking!*

*Will be free in most cases, for very advanced modifications there might be a small price, in that case we can negotiate about it

I have the dark version though.

When you buy my theme you buy the images not the existing files, those still cling to the original microsoft windows license agreement.

If the Content is of a type for use in the personal customization of a webpage or website (such as an avatar, skins, themes and backgrounds), the right to use the content on any number of webpages personal to the Buyer or as a personal identifier for the Buyer on the Web or within a online environment such as a game or X-box Live;

Yea something else doesn't seem right also:

Free modifications of the theme to your personal liking!*

*Will be free in most cases, for very advanced modifications there might be a small price, in that case we can negotiate about it

If I don't add that line people would have the right to get a whole different theme made and call it a modification.

I'm willing to make modifications but making a whole different theme is not something I want to do and that's why this line is there ;)

Unless you sell the images and a program that automatically patches the system files you are redistributing copyrighted code without permission, and profiting from it.

I imagine Microsoft would have something to say about it.

[Seahorsepip Veteran]

Thanks!

Btw in the download you sent me there is no squared version?

I have the dark version though.

I'll add the squared version in the next update also the windows 7 version will be added.

Nope I'm spreading microsoft copyrighted code but only asking money for the custom image resources, the copyrighted code still aplies to the microsoft license and is free to download from microsoft.com.

sure make sure to include your neowin username and/or email you want it to be send to.

This is like an open invitation to try to pirate it as hard as possible.

It's no use pirating something with a free version which has for most of it the same.

The paid version only has some extra styles which might be worth pirating (if you like those styles more then the default style) but the extras like modifications of the theme aren't pirateable :p

When you buy my theme you buy the images not the existing files, those still cling to the original microsoft windows license agreement.

That would probably cover you, but you are packaging your theme in a .theme file and a .msstyles file, both I believe are protected by a Microsoft copyright. You are essentially selling a repacked Microsoft protected file. Your images will also be covered under "prior art", I think, since you are basically just editing existing files to make a new design. I know you are (probably) making them from scratch, but you are using their window metrics and design style as a guide/template, and that would probably be enough for Microsoft to claim it was copyright infringement. I am kinda basing these ASSUMPTIONS on Apple v. Samsung rulings, I am NOT a lawyer and am not trying to bother/scare/bore/mess with you in any way shape or form. I just found you invoking DMCA a little strange and funny, so I offered my two cents.

Below license doesn't break any laws or intellectual properties...

The license of my theme:

It still doesn't/won't protect you from a take down notice, just so you know, if DA gets a letter from Microsoft it will get yanked and your account frozen/removed (if they still do that?). I doubt you are making enough money to hire a lawyer to fight the take down notice. Big content (riaa, mpaa) use the same strategy to remove stuff all the time, they simply file the complaint and wait for a fight/reply, then elevate to court to see if anyone is willing to hire a lawyer to keep fighting.

Just so you know, I am NOT for anyone pirating your theme or anything else for that matter. I know it's hard work to make themes look good and work properly, because I attempted it years ago and it was a complete and utter disaster.

I am really using your free version of Glow and it is very nice, keep up the good work.
