Every now and then we see post’s cropping up titled “Someone Stole My Custom Pligg Template”. The user more often than not indicates that they have picked up a strange referrer in their web stats? upon visiting the referrer they are astonished to see an identical copy of their pligg template that they sweat and bled over creating.

Since a lot of pliggers use free or multi license templates this really isn’t reported that often as many users will have the same design with small subtle edits or color changes, If however you have had a custom template developed you could have spent upwards of $1000 for a quality XHTML design or alternatively you may have developed your own custom template and would like to protect your work.
