I think this entire discussion is pathetic. Hitstation did nothing more
than modify templates. They then sold their design. Anybody in their
right mind would have made changes to that template. Saeed made changes
and released it. Poor Hitstation. Please people, we all have to spend
days modifying templates. If Ipswich would do a better job on building
their web front end, then we would not be having this conversation. The
fact that Hitstation was trying to make a quick buck on a template that
anybody and everyone could have made in a few days, is sad. It would not
take more than an hour on Hitstation, and you would have their
templates, without paying for them. It's called view source. Then simply
save the graphics and the text under the proper names, add in the IMail
tags, and instant Hitstation. Any questions? As far a code to add signup
services, spend about 30 minute with Cold Fusion and see what happens.
So in under 2 hours, anybody could have the design. Since you are going
to spend the same amount of time getting the template and modifying the
code, what have you gained by paying $95.

I purchased Hitstation's code and Kevin even updated a few things in it
for me.
The contract was among the most clear and was to be signed prior to
sale.
Saeed Awan obviously has a signature that means nothing if he signed it
before
purchasing the code then modified it some then released it. He didn't
even
change the distribution filename.... it is the same code..

sad.
