Well here's a kicker! I did a search just to see what's up. There are 422,000 results for the search term "Joomla templates Zephyr." I quit looking when I tracked FREE downloads on 10 different servers.
I still hold fast and true to the adage "what goes around comes around." It's a shame people do this but I'm sure they get what's coming to them in the long haul. I shudder to think what other goodies will be downloaded with those files and I'm glad I get legitimate, virus free templates here.
While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, copyright infringement is a nasty business and should not be tolerated.

At one point or another with any 'free' template you get out there you're gonna need support or updates.
It makes be crazy, too, but at least we don't have to answer their questions.

The best thing is, that approx 99% of the illegally downloadable templates have been tampered with. Containing backdoors, trojans and so on. So, if you wish to use an illegal template, better make sure you are one hell of a coder and find out whether or not there is "added code" there. You'll see your site hacked in no time

What's wrong with porn?
if that's your thing, then whatever, but when you're building a site for a non-profit that tries to take food to homeless and orphans in third world nations, you don't want your site redirecting people to a porn site, sends a mixed message.
personally, i think porn is disgusting and left for those who are lacking something of real substance.

With a pirated theme you cannot get any of the great support here, updates, tweaks...etc
For a change you get back-links, trojans, spam bots, etc etc etc. Don't worry, most probably the ones who download those templates end up here in the end , buying a legit license

Only a litle thing, i never understand why some people dont want spend a little money, the RT work is very chip like some i see around and the best like all part of theyr work.
Is not because they dont have money but because they like have all for free but at the end they are the first they want theyr work paid.
So never mind, RT I'm sure know about copy around and they care.
And we have also a lot of people for learn and support us ... we are lucky.
