I don't understand why your users, who I do not believe profit from this site, have an incentive to post content they take from other sites.

I have found multiple postings on this site, which I know to be hijacked from other sites.

In one case the hijacked image, was mapped to the the wrong block of code (they were both hijacked from the same site).

Does this site encourage theft, in some way?
The rules disallow the posting of content, for which the poster does not own the rights?
So why so much stolen content?
What is it about this site, and its users, that leads to so much of this behavior?

It does hurt the credibility of the site.

Rehash: Its impossible for the staff to keep track of all hijacked content. That being said, they do a damn good job of keeping it under control. This site has nothing compared to all other design websites that have thousands of stolen images and themes. Many taken from here. Can't say I blame them. Our design team and members are A+ in terms of designing.

But cB can't do it without us. Staff encourages members to report any hijacked content so that they can be removed immidiately and proper punishment is given. So, if you think its a problem don't just complain. Go ahead and help. Provide examples and prove it. :)
