Not true, the reason Napster got busted is because their servers were being used as go-betweens for searches and files.

vBulletin servers would have nothing to do with a seperate Warez board. That's like saying if someone gets stabbed, the company who makes the knives could be sued.

In all honesty, lots in the license agreement is un-enforcable and has no basis in law [this is the same for lots of software], Jelsoft know that as well as the next man, they just hope to 'scare' people into complying. A license agreement isn't the word of law.
