The other catch to chokers free script is that you are not allowed to modify it and you aren't allowed to re-distribute it. Says so in the license agreement when you down load it. Says so in the code (I think). Says so in the administration area. (I think)
PowerCum modified it. PowerCum redistributed it. Both actions violated the license and violates copyright law. Not only that, he tried to pass the work off as his own, and tried to make money off of it.
Just because it is free, does not mean that it doesn't have a copyright on it and that you don't have to obey the license that it is offered under.
You have two choices: obey the license or don't use it.
Its like downloading one sponsors exclusive free content and then using it to promote a different sponsors site. Just because the sponsor offers the content for free doesn't mean that you can do what you want with it.
His theft and copyright violations are entirely separate from the extortion attempt, which was really despicable.
