if some one uses my licence

[p@ndu]

Hi all

if some one uses my licence without my knowing what should i do

[Lynne]

Contact their host and let them know about this and ask them to take down the site.

[p@ndu]

ok thank you i am doing it now

[p@ndu]

It has come to our attention that your copy of vBulletin is being used on multiple sites illegally.

As per the license agreement each license permits you to run a single installation of the software. Your license is currently powering forums on the following sites:

http://www.insecurity.ro/board/

These sites must be removed, or be powered by their own license within 28 days or you risk your license being permanently revoked. In this eventuality, appropriate action may be taken by our copyright enforcement agency in accordance with DMCA rules.

You can view the license agreement at:

http://www.vbulletin.com/order/license_agreement.php

Note: It is your responsibility to protect your info and files. We can only make our decision based on whether or not a license is being used illegally, not how it happened.




some one help me with this matter i dont know who hosted that site and were is it hosted i tried a lot but i ddint get any details about it can some one please help me in contacting the service were it is hosted

thank you

[rtyagis]

How they got your vbulletin licence info?
Submit the website info to vbulletin -
http://www.vbulletin.com/piracy.php

[p@ndu]

i dont know how they go it but vbulletin only send me that message that they are using my license

[goshalim]

Its not possible that someone is usesing your licence unless you gave it to someone else

[p@ndu]

no guys may be mine email got hacked and they may be using mine license

[kall]

How they got your vbulletin licence info?

Considering that's who sent him the email telling him that it was being used illegally, that's not going to be much help.

If you can't get it taken down by the host, you're out of options. You might want to take better care of your email security.

EURODNS S.A. is the registrar of that domain, but oddly WHOIS searches aren't providing any contact info.

[Lynne]

Go lookup the site and contact their host. They may or may not help you out. There are a LOT of hosts that are very good at making sure sites without proper licenses are taken down when they are contacted about it.

Why would a hacking community use a legit copy of vBulletin when they have thousands of the latest nulled versions of vB. This doesnt make sense.

[your24hourstore]

VB should change the password for that reg number so the legit owner is covered, then its VBs problem that a site is using the illegal software.

that will stop the illegal copy from downloading new copy's and mods and stuff

If not then what good is haveing a registered copy!

looks like the site that's in question is down anyway, but still the owner should get a new password or something from VB since his is obviously compromised

[Lynne]

Wrong. Read the license agreement. It is up to the owner to not share their files in anyway. And, vB is not going to just change a password on an account when multiple sites show up using the files. The owner is the only one who can change the password.

[your24hourstore]

If people actually read the agreements you must agree to in order to use a service or product, No one would actually use the internet, most just click here to agree.

That may not be the right thing to do, but I'm sure most people don't have lawyers on staff to peruse these agreements, that in most case's protect the seller, and not the end user, so if your going to use anything on the internet, you are going to agree to the online agreements provided by every single service on the internet. or you will not even sign into the internet.

With all that said People in here give that information out on a regular bases, when haveing mods installed or even the forum software installed by people that are not the end user. This actually voids their contract, because they have violated the terms of the user agreement.

So later when a pirate board pops up using their information are they to have their license revoked. If so then that practice should not be allowed and people should know that they could later lose their lic because of some thing they allowed because they just wanted their board up and running.

and before anyone get's all defensive, I'm just saying people have got this guys info in some way. we may never know who or how but I think he has probably had someone that once had access to his lic info. So is it his fault ?, if so oh well but if not and somehow his information was hacked in email, that would be the issue, maybe that information shouldn't be sent over the internet, maybe it should be saved on a secure server and you would have to log into that location to retrieve the information that is normally sent by email to customers! after purchase.

just a thought :D

maybe talk to vB about cancelling your license and issuing you a new one?

they wont Lynne already said its on him as per their agreement on lic

[p@ndu]

oops so their is no way way of contacting them and i mine license may be cancelled please some one give me a good idea of taking down that site

[TNCclubman]

vB is washing their hands of your situation. I doubt that site will take itself down, the guys are hackers. Looks like your license is going to get cancelled.

Question is, will you have to take your personal site down, or just not be able to download the latest updates? Did vB explain what will happen to your site? ie cancelled license, therefore your host is going to get another letter about your site as well from vB.

[your24hourstore]

http://insecurity.ro/board/forum.phpit doesn't show any copyright info so its up to VB to stop this guy, its their copyright infringement going on along with you lic being compromised, was you copy unbranded?

wow i may have a way to hack them, if its your board use your reg number to and password to go in and update the board to some earlier version then change the passwords and stuff dunno if it will have the same reg stuff going on but heck i would do it

i got this reply now

I've added the URL to our Piracy database however there is no guarantee that this will help. It's still your responsibility to look after your files, any login details to the Members Area and to access to your server.

i have to wait and i also have to do some thing as they said their no gurantee

[OldSchoolDSL]

I did some research as this got my attention....

There are some illegal copies of vBulletin which come with keygen's now. So there is the possibility that the site used a keygen and got lucky (came up with a valid number)

well no one can really say how it was exploited, but there is exploites for the version on the hackers site http://www.securiteam.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=&restrict=&exclude=%2Fwindowsntfocus%2Farchive|%2Ftools%2Farc hive|%2Fsecuritynews%2Farchive|%2Fexploits%2Farchi ve|%2Fsecurityreviews%2Farchive|%2Funixfocus%2Farc hive&method=and&format=long&sort=score&restrict=&words=exploit+vb+4

I had someone try the calender exploit on my 4.1.1 site just yesterday after messing with the hackers site the other day

[Lynne]

Except if you read the details for the calendar exploit, it says:
Vulnerable versions:
* vBulletin 2.0.3 and before

Immune versions:
* vBulletin 2.2.0 and later
The OP is not running vB2.

[your24hourstore]

calender was just what showed up in my logs,actually it gave me an error

[kall]

With all that said People in here give that information out on a regular bases, when haveing mods installed or even the forum software installed by people that are not the end user. This actually voids their contract, because they have violated the terms of the user agreement.
What? People post their customer number and password in here?

Or maybe you are suggesting people post their email address and password to that?

Pfft. Link/screenshot, or it didn't happen.


just a thought :D
A really, really weird one.

[kh99]

What? People post their customer number and password in here?


To be fair, the post says "People in here give that information out" and not "people give that information out in this forum". In any case I doubt it would "void the contract", but it might make them responsible for any abuse by the people they give it out to.

[Sarteck]

Well, the vB Team is made up of real people, right? Not like, robots and shiz. I'd figure that they could help out their customer, somehow. I mean, so long as he still has the same e-mail that's on file with the Team, I can't see how it would be so difficult for them to destroy the current license number and maybe grant the guy a new one.

(Granted I can barely understand the guy, so I don't even know if that's what's going on. Heh.)



Anyone who mentioned something about getting a Romanian host to actually do something about one of their customers has obviously not been around Romanian hosts very much. XD (No offense, it would have been a decent suggestion, otherwise.)



As for downloadmasti running a Warez site, I really don't see how his site's content has much of a bearing with the topic at hand, even if the content is illegal, so long as he is a legitimate customer of vBulletin. (Of course, that's assuming he IS a legitimate customer.)





To the OP, best thing you could probably do is talk to a human being on the vB Team that handles licensing. If you are indeed a legitimate customer of their, and you are still using the same e-mail registered at the vbulletin.com site, then they probably COULD help you. Assuming you're a legit customer, I'd have to think of them as [insert plural expletive] if the did not help.

So yar, sorry, OP. You are pretty much screwed.

I dont want my lincense to be cancelled so,

I will close my site http://www.downloadsmasti.com completely

When the problem will be solved i will start my site again
i.e., after that site http://www.insecurity.ro/board/ not using my license files i will start my site

and how to know that they are not using my files

If i do this i think their will be no problem to my license

Unless you forgot to include the part where the other site removes all your files, then no.

they only contacted regarding this and i want to know were that is been hosted so that i can contact the webhosting service to get it down

i tried to contact the admin on the site but he isnt responding and i even contacted the domain host were it has been registered they are also not responding


so now last option is to contact their webhost buty i cannot get the details of the webhost

can some one get me their webhost details

Thank you

[merk_aus]

okay so here are the facts.
Someone may be using your license, however we - the community - can not hold your hand and do everything for you, information has been provided to you in earlier threads and this should be in general discussions not vb4 discussions as it has absolutely nothing to do with vb4.

You ARE in breach of your license agreement by running a warez website, vBulletin is not allowed to be used to encourage illegal activity.

And you have even admitted that you will take your site down until this is sorted out and then you will re-launch your website.

So in retrospect you want to continue to breach your license agreement and under those facts vBulletin Solutions are within their rights to revoke your license anyway so either way they are within their rights to cancel your license.

I'm going to be direct....

Your site is going to be shut down.
There is nothing you can do.
Accept it, make peace with it... It's happening

You violated the terms of services

How?

You are using vBulletin to run an illegal site

How is it illegal?

Your site is being used to share illegal movies (DVD copies).

So even if this other site didn't get a copy of your license ..... You did yourself in.

Next time, do not host an illegal site.

I would recommend you do the following:

1) Buy another copy of vBulletin
2) Do not host or promote illegal content

[Sarteck]

yup but they dont have any email to contact

It does not matter if the other web site is taken offline.

It does not matter if they remove your license from their site.

Your site still is violating the user agreement you agreed to, when you purchased vBulletin.

Your license is going to be ended.

none of them have replied me

some one tell me a way to protect my license

*sorry for my bad english

[your24hourstore]

I am sorry you had this happen, and my whole interest was to figure out how it did. But if you never gave your reg and password out for a remote ftp situation, or an install. I cant figure out how they got your info.

And still today we dont know if you compromised yourself, or if there is some secuirty flaw. I how ever have had more than a few people give me that information for a mod install or even a board install, if I wanted to i could steal there lic info, not that i would but that's the only way i can figure that someone got the information, and that's what i was saying kali.

And to whoever says Romanian servers are accessible well i disagree, your screwed as far as trying to get them to do anything, If they don't feel compelled to do it.

Good luck with getting this all resolved, myself i would just buy a new version of a BB software. :D
