The fact that there is your mod name before says nothing as you don't have the right to show any of your links in that pages.

In anycase, I'll appreciate if you modify your code and exclude your copyright for pages where "THIS_SCRIPT" has any of the values below:

• ads
• adsusercp
• adsmodcp
• auc
• aucusercp
• aucmodcp
• reviews
• revusercp
• revmodcp
• extrapages

Thank you

Can I ask what laws you feel our copyright notices contravene? Placing a global copyright footer is in no way illegal.

Unfortunately trying to create rules that will exclude certain pages while not accidentally excluding others (for instance "ads" or "reviews" are very common words/scripts which may be used in modifications WE create as well) is not practical.

We inform users of the nature of our copyright links (e.g global) and they agree to these terms when they install our work.

If a user wishes to display a copyright footer on their own website on a page that happens to also display your work, they are well within their rights to do so. Please be aware that accusations of criminal/illegal activity are very serious and should not be made offhandedly in an attempt to damage our reputation. We would appreciate it if you refrain from such baseless and libelous accusations in future.

Please respect the right for webmasters to have any copyright footers they wish on any pages they wish.
