A little question about piracy

[cclaerhout]

Hi everybody,

As promised, here is the reason of my product called : "Against vBulletin piracy logo". I suppose we all agree to blame vB piracy and to salute the vbulletin authentification system. Thanks to its efficiency, the community is big, clean and united. Though all of this, there is a point i still don't undersand. Vbulletin.org has developped a way to share the authentification system with trusted vB website. I'm a member of one of them (vbulletin-fr.org). As a novice coder and a designer, i've choosen this website because my work can be protected. I've also accepted some german coders to translate my hacks because they had such a system.

Unfortunately, it seems some vB coders don't care of this point. When they allow someone to translate and distribute their hack they don't check if their work will be protected. This precaution should be a reflex and may be even an obligation for vb.org coders. I mean when a coder accepts his hack to be translated and distributed in another place than vbulletin.org that can't check if a member has a licence or not, it compromised vB autentification system itslef. That's not very logical. Well this is just what i think. I've opened this topic because the opinion of vB.org interets me and because i still don't have any answer after i have sent a pm about this to a coder (not on this site).

Regards,

C?dric

P.S : this is peacefull message and i don't want anybody to take guns after reading it Let's just talk.
