The pirates of Downing St

As the government presses the internet services providers to act hard and fats against those ordinary people who like to share files over internet, it turns out that the Prime Minister’s office in Downing St have a little piracy matter of their own to deal with.

It seems that the website of the Prime Minister has been using a wordpress theme designed by antbag.com, they produce these themes for free, although if someone wants to donate some cash or something else then that would be welcome.

However, the simple fact is that anyone who uses a free theme is required by common courtesy to provide a link to the designer with no cash is required.

Nevertheless, Gordon Browns website uses the theme and does not provide the link; in fact, the company who designed it claimed that they built it from scratch, although if they had done that then why are there credits to the designer in the CSS file?
