No, he DID hide the links. What are the chances of EVERY single school hiding the link? Most of the links are hidden using the EXACT same CSS technique. What are the chances of EVERY single school doing it that way? Conclusion: The links were hidden within the templates prior to point of sale (if that's the way it happened) The schools don't know anything about this IMO
i think you must read http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=298934 . there is an intresting discussion about hidden links
Ok, you're right, I just checked his links on Yahoo and every single template he has out there has hidden links back to him. Still, this is a far far cry from hacking, and really not illegal, although it might be considered slightly unethical. Many times templates do come with a link back to where they were created, so that's not unusual. It's sometimes even part of the licensing that the link be left intact. They're usually not hidden though. -Michael
