How do you tell if a site is rouge, when they share vb.org mods ?

Was getting alot of trafik from a site named *** Removed, no need to advertise them. ;) ***
well i went to check it out,.

and god damn, alot of the released mods here are "re released"
and authors replaced with alternative authors claiming craetion. :down:

So im wondering is that considered piracy ?

The only person who can answer that question, is the author of the modification posted on such a site. He/she might have given permission.

well i see both styles and mods from me, didnt allow them there :p
and other's claim them as their own..

and they link to downloads of nulled boards and modifications.
guess that qualify's for piracy or ?

If they are distributing your work without your permission, then you should contact them and request removal. If they do not comply, sent them a DMCA notice.
