I'm not going to comment on wether I believe the infringement claim or not, but let's have a look at the way they calculate damage - it's the same way the music companies calculate damages for illegal downloading: They take a number with questionable origin (27 commenters), multiply it by a factor that appears from thin air (assume 1 of 50 downloaders commented) and then pretend that everyone of these would have bought the template and next thing assume that's the low-ball figure. Given that per their own claim the template sold 361 times in half a year I find it hard to believe that there was a sudden rush of I-Must-Have-This-Template.
This "I'll just conjure a number" method of claiming inflated damages just ruins the credibility of the whole post for me.
