Oh puhhhhleeeeeeeeessssssssseeeeeeee! Not another template site!
Oh yeah like you just moved onto the planet and don't know that
10,000 sites already huckster the same stuff right?
With every damn one of them claiming copyright on every damn one of
the templates.

"Well god damnit I wrote the code for it so it's my damn copyright!"
Hey dude? I wrote that same code 10 years ago!
So have a million other people since. Because it's on your website,
does not give you copyright.

I agree with your sentiment but the post is just spam so you could have
at least deleted the url instead of promulgating it. Anyway, copyright
is a *legal* entity and the originality of html markup alone certainly
does *not* suffice to make said markup copywrited in any respect.

Of course it's spam. I just love kicking them around every now and then.
I once got into it with some gal who tried claiming she had a copyright on
an animated gif. Which was a similated waving american flag. I tried my
best to explain to her, no honey, you do not have the copyright. You did
not create the software, nor did you create the material within it. You
just simply applied already existing code.

And I just love the zillion "smiley" sites that all claim they own the
copyright to the artwork. People just do not understand what copyright
involves. They think that because it's on their website, they own the
copyright to anything they put on it. Totally wrong.
