An Idea For A New Forum Section???

Hello Fellow Rocket Theme Members ;D
It is me, yes me; Chris DiCosola
Piracy, you see more and more of it today. In fact just today I searched Rocket Theme Templates on Google and I went to the 10th page and BAM lots of torrents and warez sites. The scariest thing is how many there are tons of them supplying our amazing templates for free to download. Here are just a few examples

I already took it into my own hands to contact the sites hosting the files and the t-warez owners.
They just laughed and laughed.
That is why I am proposing a new Rocket Theme Forum Section
a Piracy/Security Section!
Where people can list sites hosting Rocket Theme Templates.
Talk about ideas to secure our templates.
Maybe about tracking codes and other techniques.
Idk maybe its just me.
But I know I spent my hard earned money for these amazing templates and I don't feel that some random kid at a warez site or that has bit torrent downloaded should be ripping of Rocket Theme and stealing our templates.

No use ;D.
And your hard-earned money gets you support as well mate. So think of it as 50% invested in the templates, the rest for support.

Ok, please do NOT post URLs of pirated templates in this forum. All you are doing is just publicizing the downloads for everyone to find that much easier.
Piracy is a big problem but the very nature of joomla templates being in PHP and the fact that they can't be encrypted/obfuscated means that there really is no practical way to stop it. Trying to go after pirates is also very difficult, time consuming and kinda like pulling weeds in a garden. They just keep popping up.
The best solution I've found is to ensure that the key portions of the forum are for valid club members only. This has worked pretty well, and I intend to keep using this as the RT deterrent for piracy.
So I see no reason to have a forum to publicize or bring attention to this issue. I'de appreciate it if the piracy threads stopped. If you like please email us about it, but do not post.
cheers.

I agree piracy is an issue...I actually think alot of folks here inadvertently cheat the system....
I have seen a few people post more then the number of sites allowed by the normal membership (each of these using rockettheme templates).....So do Andy a favor and make sure you have the correct license for your use....
