Things move fast... very fast online. You can think of it as buying a mobile phone. Once you buy it then it is the smartest thing out there, but after several years it has lost over half it's value and more... I'm not saying phone manufacturers are giving away phones for free (as they have production costs), but I'm saying that the value of a theme depreciates just like a car, and if we estimated the value of the theme today, 1 year after it was released, then it would probably have a price near $0 than $70, so that is our reason for putting this up as a free download.

You can accomplish that with a free theme + customizations. These 2 sites are using the same theme, yet they really don't look alike at all, beyond the blue stripes on the sidebar: http://appsapps.com/ebooks/ http://www.adrianblog.com/ Buying a theme just to have your blog not look like anybody else’s is kind of silly.

Anyone still *can* download it, it will just cost them some money. If you want to look unique, make your own design, or use a premium/free theme as a starting point for a unique design.

However, it's something I can't do a whole lot about so it doesn't make sense to spend much time being upset about it.
