They don't only target hacks, styles & graphics from here but other 3rd party legit vbulletin sites. There's a specific site I know about that distributes my stuff and members even asking to steal my styles which were never released and never will.

Do they do any harm. No, not really. Like someone stated here. there are scripts/images/styles that arent here and many scripts on these types of sites that either have been abandoned, moved to the mod graveyard or the author pulled their stuff from here.

Whether you look at these sites as a valuable resource or a source that is ripping you off or damaging your potential sales/revenue is down to your own conclusion.

You either benfit from these sites (which many members here do) and there are others who feel the backlash (not to be mistaken for whiplash).
