Huge lesson here in PR to anyone who wants to cut corners. Recently Nick Denton (internet icon and owner of Gawker, Fleshbot, Moreover...) recently made a deal with Leaves Rustled to make a free css stylesheet for Fleshbot.
Nick then reused the code on other sites without payment or permission.

I wrote an article called "why every webmaster should have a blog" and the basic idea behind it is that blogs make it very easy to spread ideas quickly. So when a famous blogger wrongs blog designers...things get ugly quick. It is always bad when your name appears on Pirated Sites.
