@jacob i empathize with you, you have a point but you are putting it out badly. In fact, you end up sounding like youre complaining that someone got a cms (legally or illegally), slapped in some css changes and went to the media (who for all intents and purposes are clueless in many cases) and marketed his product as "new", well, new like "free" of the GPL fame is many things to many people. The only point i get from this is its bad manners to torrent scripts that you are meant to pay for,if however someone actually bought a script like social engine and began a nich social network, will you still have issues with them if they went and marketed it as new?

To better illustrate my point...
if you read todays paper they talk of a Kenyan search engine developed by KCA University student..same article was in the news some time back. How its supposed to be innovative is beyond. Apparently there is no innovation or engineering work done. It is simply a custom search engine anybody can buy and customize. Compare the two below..
Irozho Search Engine - http://www.rozho.com/
Custom Script - http://www.inoutscripts.com/products/inout_search_engine/
I highly doubt they bought..its pretty easy to download it from torrent sites.
