@james - since we were originally called WPMU Premium, and that WordPress MU is no longer going to exist, we felt it was important to re-brand whilst we had the chance.

We know we wanted the words "premium" and "press" in our name, as this really pin-pointed what we were about - and was bound to be good from an SEO point of view, so the decision to change our name to ThePremiumPress was a relatively easy one that did not involve ripping anything off or purposely stepping on anyone's toes...

As for ripping-off themes, what's that all about...?

At present, we have only have two themes, and can guarantee we built them from scratch and that there is nothing else like them on the market-place - otherwise they'd have been completed months ago and would be selling like hot-cakes already... :-)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - it's unfortunate that they appear to be so negative.

All the best with your own ventures, and thanks for your compliments regarding gMaps.
