Thank you, we will look into these.
Yes, there will likely always be scumbags out there downloading and using the theme illegally (just like any other software out there). These people are obviously at risk of installing other unwanted malicious code etc in doing so, which is often the case with nulled scripts.
At the end of the day, our customers can enjoy the benefit of a safe copy of the theme, along with free updates forever, and support via these forums (which are obviously inaccessable to non-customers), and valued input as part of the AppThemes community. All good reasons for actually purchasing the theme.
