    Yes they can do something about it.

    Whats so bad about paying monster templates $60 for a good template ;)

    Also, they can get your hosts server disconnected depending on location.

    Try and use google for terms you don't understand.

    Not only can they have your host take down your site, they can get your adsense account banned, have your site removed from all major search engines, and then sue you for damages.

    Buy the template and don't try and justify being a scumbag.

    It's only $60. Buy it, the headaches you will have will be worth well more than $60 if you continue to do it. There are plenty of ways for the owners to get you shut down.

    but what if the site is hosted on off-shore servers, can they still shut it down?
