#code thieves

iamthemelocked has a history of stealing code, and i discovered this because i found them in the process of stealing mine.

sassyxmajestic and hoodedlocksley: 

Replacing HW in hollywhood’s theme with hoodedlocksley is stealing credit for a theme you did not make. Customisation of a theme does not make it yours. 

It is against hollywhood’s rules. http://hollywhood.tumblr.com/themeage

It is WRONG. It is stealing. It makes you both thieves.

hoodedlocksley, being a thief for your queen should only be in character. When you have the same hollywhood theme for your own blog, it shows you know better. You deliberately replaced the theme credit when you gave the code to sassyxmajestic. That is horrid behaviour. You two need to fix this, apologise and straighten your act up. Plagiarism will not be tolerated on tumblr.

thexfairestxregal, you are tagged because you are linked on hoodedlocksley‘s blog as his “strictly single ship”. There is mention of a tumblr “bug” taking your blog away. We doubt that. We know enough people on here who run from url to url to recognise a fugitive when we see one. What did you do on your other blog? Plagirise as well?

for those who don't know, they are a blatant code thief, with multiple reported incidents of copying code from others, stealing artwork, and harassing the people they have stolen from.

so if you see a theme by meancutie/softwarning/jubileethemes/seethes, please please please don't use it.

So, I know many theme-related blogs like to post things like this to raise  awareness of code thieves: theme-makers who steal coding from other theme-makers without properly crediting them. Recently, I've been seeing a lot of reports of these code thieves, so I felt I should join the crusade and compile as many reports and thieves as I can from and with the help of my fellow theme-makers.

If you are a theme-maker or a follower and notice a theft, please contact me so that I may add it to the list. If you have a post explicitly regarding the theft, send that to me as well. If a theme-maker has been falsely accused, notify me so that I may remove them from the list.
