really, so if i decide to upload a theme to a repository, whose going to stop me? i could have done it without telling you guys. also, if it gets rejected, i can upload it to the sin repo, (you know what thats short for). they accept everything.

Well, the author of the theme probably won't be thrilled to hear that people are uploading it without his permission, especially when he's specifically said that it's available for private download only. Will he physically throw himself between your finger and the mouse to prevent you from uploading it? Probably not.
"whose (sic) going to stop me", "i could have done it without telling you guys" and "i can upload it to that pirate source that I'm always telling people not to mention" miss the point to an almost hilariously ridiculous degree. The issue here isn't whether lightning will strike you down before you can start the upload; it's about respect for intellectual property and the wishes of a developer.
lol
I was looking for the illumine theme too because i had it a while ago and wanted to add it to a friend's phone; I found this thread as a google result and I must say the above post it the funniest $H|T I've read all day...
respect IP and wishes of the creator you say?!?!?... hmmm... last i checked apple didn't want people jailbreaking their phones and installing 3rd party apps, maybe we should all just go ahead and restore our phones to stock, yeah the first guy was a douche but you looked like an even bigger one for trying to get on a little soapbox and rise above him
as for the illumine creator, if he wants to get paid why not setup something with cydia store... oh wait, that would make too much sense

So you are equating the treatment of a single theme developer to a worldwide corporation?
now thats funny!
Uh, ok. What exactly is your argument here? "Apple don't want us jailbreaking our phones, so we should feel free to steal the work of independent developers"? Jailbreaking an iPhone is a little different from offering, for free, a piece of software that the creator specifically requests payment for. If you don't see the difference, there isn't much point in taking this discussion any further.
Secondly, since you found this thread "as a google result" and felt the need to register for this board simply so you could outline the Official IM IN UR IPHONE Hierarchy Of Who Is A Bigger Douche, you're obviously unaware of the background here. The (14-year-old) poster I was responding to had a long history of shrieking "discussion of piracy is not allowed here!!" even when nobody had mentioned piracy; then in this thread he decided to post software developed by an individual who specifically released it as pay software. If it had been any other random poster or any other situation, I wouldn't have bothered to respond, but in this case his hypocrisy was so blatant that it was worth bringing up.
Hope you feel good about yourself for dragging up this ancient thread to make...well, whatever your point was supposed to be![]()

oh so now because it's one developer he deserves more respect for his intellectual property than that of a company that employs hundreds of people to develop a platform?
I suppose you're also one of those people that say it's ok to shoplift from a worldwide corporation like walmart but if someone steals a dollar from you you cry bloody murder![]()
you my friend, are a retard.....
jailbreaking a phone and pirating software are 2 completely different things. jailbreaking is NOT stealing from apple, pirating a theme from a developer IS stealing.
perhaps you are the one with cataracts?
ok let's have some fun...his original argument was that it wasn't respecting the wishes of the developer... then you guys threw the pirating in there
besides.. jailbreaking IS stealing to some extent even with legit free apps...
do you have free ringtones through cydia? well that's revenue that apple isn't getting, because by jailbreaking and violating their wishes you don't have to buy the ringtones from them
do you maybe have PDAnet installed so you can tether?... you guessed it stealing revenue
the list pretty long if you think about it

he said that pcs are junk was not respecting the wishes of the developer (to pay for the theme "illumine" via paypal and d/l it privately) not sure when you think we "threw" the pirating in there, as that was the original point? The dev doesn't want people pirating his work, so he took it off of cydia and wants it to be available via private download only. pcs are junk decided not to respect the wishes of the dev and post it on cydia anyways, allowing people to "steal" the theme. By me jailbreaking my iPhone I have not stolen anything... I just gave myself more access to my phone. Have you even read the thread before spewing out of your mouth?
does the illumine theme support iphone 4?
It doesn't work on my IP4 mate.
