hacks are being pirated!
 

guys, i think there are people pirating hacks off vB.org. i found an XXX site using my post redirection message hack (w/ HackTracker). somebody refresh my memory, though...isn't it against the license agreement to run an XXX board?

there are many sites that distribute VB hacks since some people on VB get the licence to run a FX board and then give out hacks.. there is no way to stop it unless it is your code and you get them on copyright violations.

E-mail piracy@vbulletin.com . Obviously there's a customer out there that's letting a friend leech off the ability to add three usernames to that special form.

i thought of that, but do they really have a way to pinpoint that?

The link I posted +++++ >(

(j/k)

But I knew poeple that use to get hacks from there all the time :\

They have a hack getting request area fro hack on vb.org

Actually - there is nothing in the license agreement against a XXX site using the software. I think you are thinking of the reference to warez type sites...
How do you know it's a 'pirated' copy of your hack? I've installed several of your hacks, but at this point in time I have not made my site URL known here - and I know several other members here who run either private boards, have boards under construction, or just don't desire to share their board location for various reasons. Also, there are also many owners of licenses who don't have the skill set to install hacks themselves, and get third parties to do it for them, and in such a case even if the installer clicked install, the installers site URL may not reflect the URL of the site where the hack was installed.

Finally - if you think the board is an illegal copy, report it to Jelsoft, they swing a lot more weight in dealing with a pirated copy of their software, than you would in dealing with what you believe is an illegally obtained hack you authored.

BTW - looks like yer HackTracker works darn fine, eh!

Take care,

thanks for clearing that up. i was inclined to think it was pirated because the title of the board is "0-Day XXX Passwords"

Really...:)

Settle down filburt1. :) I know what you're thinking... ;)

LOL, I actually did ponder it but those stupid morals...:D
