Pizero being robbed by Handango

Pizero, the great Symbian themes designer, has found out that he is being robbed from Handango - for free stuff!

Pizero already sells his premium themes for 15US$ at the mobile marketplace, although only 4,50US$ comes back to him. The problem is that someone is selling his free themes at Handango for 10US$, after downloading from Pizero's website, and renaming them.

Considering that it's one of the biggest mobile marketplace of the internet, the issue should be solved quickly, but it wasn't:

I received a quick reply from Handango after some hours. The guy told me that my email was turned to the copyright manager, to quickly solve the issue.

After 48 hours, I sent another email. They told me that  the copyright manager is “currently out of office”, but she will “surely reply as soon as she can”.

Another day has passed. Today, I receive an email from Handango telling that “72 Hours have passed since your last email. Since we did not hear about you, We changed the incident state to SOLVED“.

I got to handango page, and the themes are still available for purchase.

I really hope to see that problem solved rapidly, but however I will have to wait until next week.

If that wasn't enough, the theme master had to deal with people modifying his premium themes and selling them on a Chinese website, Russian websites, others on eBay, and others attaining comission from Rapidshare download.

A comment requested from Handango was not immediately returned.
