What do you think of this.

Theres another board out there which offers all of the hacks that are on this board for free. You don't have to be a registered user. You can just go and download the hacks. So people with pirated copies of vBulletin can get the stuff for nothing.

I'd be happy to give the URL of the board to one of the mods.. Just let me know what you think..

True it is sort of a bad thing imo. I know one of the boards who offers that.

But hey, if you run a board focused on additons to forums, then you'd wnat to have hacks on your forum...

Please report the forum(s) to one of the moderators/admins here.
Thanks.

I just sent FireFly a PM with the URL of the one that I found. If you know of any, send him a PM with the URL.

Stop the piracy!

Having a hack board in itself is not piracy. If the webmaster follows the rules regarding not distributing vbulletin files, and not promoting hacks for the free version, they are ok.

There is no way for an independant web developer to KNOW who is and isn't licensed. Thus, they can't be held responsible if pirates download the hacks.

We are not talking about hacking forums that let people submit their hacks, etc.
The problem is with license holders that download hacks from this forum and distribute it .

Chen is right
What can be done to stop it?

PS : Chen, i'll PM'u some links ok?

It's just wrong people distributing the hacks from here on other boards. I mean people pay good money to get access to the hacks on here. It sucks that they are available for free on other boards. All of the pirates who have illegal copies of vBulletin are now able to hack it up and enjoy it for free.

I have news for you. Any software that you've gotta pay for is going to be pirated - especially those that are grossly expensive like vBulletin. Besides, what these people are doing - that is, distributing hacks - isn't illegal. Furthermore, the fight against piracy will never be won - it's an extremely futile attempt. The more you fight like greedy know-it-all's, the more the Warez community will resent you and therefore, the more it will pirate the software.

The only thing you're doing by teasing people is angering them. If someone won't pay the $165, they won't pay the $165. It's lot of money. If you tease them, they will find other ways.
