Title: Hello HN,<p>A couple of days ago I released a html theme on a themes site, think ThemeForest. I have hopes it&#x27;s gonna sell rather well, we&#x27;ve been working at it for about 5 months.<p>Another theme developer is threatening that he&#x27;s filing a DMCA takedown on our theme because, he says, we copied code from him, which we didn&#x27;t.<p>I asked him to show proof with code samples, which he didn&#x27;t, and continued his tirade.<p>Our code is absolutely 100% written by us, we use a precompiler, which I think he doesn&#x27;t, we have our own custom framework etc.<p>We are from an Eastern European country, they are Western.<p>1. What can happen if they &quot;file a DMCA&quot; ?<p>2. They say they don&#x27;t need to show us any proof, that they will show that in court.
How can we deal with that, being different countries and all ?<p>Thank you so much for advice HN, it&#x27;s not the first time you are helping me out.<p>PS<p>I&#x27;m currently keeping names and such private, but I might expose them for the douches they are, depending how this plays out.
