What are your thoughts on removing encrypted footer links on free wordpress themes.

Yes the themes are free, and some authors "expect" you to leave the links on.

For example http://www.newwpthemes.com

they have clean style themes, very easy to modify, but they add a nasty dashboard widget to contact their server, and also spammy footer links encoded.



note: I did write a shel script to remove all the encoded links and dashboard widget without breaking the themes code.

Just want your input since this is a tough question
I always loved the themes on that site, but I wouldn't use them because of all their ringtones and other garbage links in the footers. I also tried to remove them but they ended up fucking up the theme and posting a message to leave the links. Any chance you are selling that script or otherwise making it available?
