Shouldn't it be relatively easy to track who is downloading and distrubing these hacks?

I mean, whats hte odds of someone downloading EVERY hack on here?

They posted a few of my hacks without asking for my permission.

I am all for a license-wide ban on people who download mods from here and distribute them to others. If people continue to do this, I will eventually pull all of my mods from this site - which does not adequately protect my work - and release it only at my own site.

While we hold the copyrights to our mods, I believe it is ultimately Jelsoft's responsibility to ensure that they do the most possible to protect the content we post here.

I agree and disagree on this. I think jelsoft should give us more tools to help us safeguard of works. I understand jelsoft has a limited team of attorneys so they cant be everywhere at once and suing everyone for us. it would too costly and inefficient. ultimately it is our responsibility but jelsoft should try to offer more protective tools.

I am not looking for their lawyers to chase everybody on our behalf. I want all downloads tracked by username here. I want license-wide bans on transgressors. I want a tracker of some sort hidden in downloads so that they can tell which user here has redistributed our work. If this site is going to be the distribution site for copyrighted work, then it has to have some sort of security in place to protect that work. Especially if they are not going to enforce our copyrights.

If Jelsoft continues to worry about the privacy of the people who use our code more than the rights of the people who write the code, I think the developers should reconsider posting here.

The staff and Jelsoft are aware of this site. I've removed the link from the first post to prevent unlicensed users from finding the site.

If you have released a modification here and would like to make sure it has not been uploaded to that site feel free to PM me and I will check for you.

Not to come across as racist, but in my business anyway, I have more rips and attempted fraud purchases from Vietnamese than any other group.

Asia is the pirating area of the world.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
