Recently, after some playing with the chromium debugger in the Tumblr blog customize panel, I discovered that just about any theme (including premium) can be downloaded via a simple wget command:

wget http://tumblr.com/customize_api/theme/34426 --post-data="Origin: http://www.tumblr.com"

This would download a JSON object which contains the theme file (under the "theme" field).

In this case, the theme I've downloaded is Paperback (http://www.tumblr.com/theme/34426); As you can see, the theme is premium and requires a 49$ fee to use. I can just copy the theme code from the JSON I downloaded, paste it in "Edit HTML" and use that theme for free.

I do not advise anyone to do it, but it's worth exploring. Of course, if the theme code leaks, it can be easily pirated, but don't you think being able to just download every single theme is a little too far?

Try this: wget http://tumblr.com/customize_api/theme/8952 --post-data="Origin: http://www.tumblr.com" (rank & file) Or wget http://tumblr.com/customize_api/theme/15063 --post-data="Origin: http://www.tumblr.com" (Fluid 2)

You can browse the themes to fetch the ID's using the Tumblr theme garden (http://tumblr.com/themes) or by browsing this JSON object: http://www.tumblr.com/customize_api/themes

First of all - technically, it was my mistake.

I registered an Android Developer account, configured Google Wallet with my VISA, paid the license, and developed an app I hoped to make money from. This took 2 months.

The product is almost ready, when I decide to get a closer look at the "Upload application" section and I realize that Google Checkout is not supported in my country (Bulgaria).

Yes - I did not research that before I started the project. But I wonder - was it stupid to make the assumption that one can sell his/her app in one of the world's leading software markets from an EU country?

Or is there something I'm overlooking?
