This isn't the first time someone tried to steal something I made. A couple years ago, I had made a type of popup-window that could not be stopped by any popup blocker program out there (used DHTML instead). Someone grabbed the code and was selling it as theirs. Well, I stumbled across it, found it VERy familiar, but the code was gibberish. The amateurs used a really weak form of "encryption" to hide the code, but a couple minutes and I cracked it (was simply ASCII code shifting). I sent them a message, but since they were overseas, could do nothing about it. Poo.
