Terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi using vB3

[Dean C]

Would you call them up and demand that they stop using your product?!?!?!

Yeah i'm sure mr Al-Zarqawi has his phone number and address listed in the whois database

lol its most likely pirated and the server is probably based in like some middle eastern country so basically jelsoft wouldnt win a piracy case since they dont respect copy right laws, and from the looks of it they dont respect human life either>_>

I'm sure these guys use computers running Windows... is the Windows on their notebooks and desktops pirate versions or did they buy them? Also, surely these guys use mobile phones... did they phreak the SIM cards?

remember, these terrorists lack many things, but they don't lack cash. i don't want to sound contrary to popular belief, but these terrorists have no problem paying money for things they want. and they want the best, and have been known to pay for it.

so if they purchased vbulletin. so what? half the weapons the iraqis used in the first gulf war were purchased from the US Government ... we probably should've asked for them back before we kicked them out of kuwait.

i'm not correlating iraqi's with terrorists, i'm just saying that free enterprise is free enterprise and once something is purchased, you can't hold the manufacturer responsible... unless you're in the industries of tobacco, firearms, oil, automobile ...

sorry for the rambling. not enough sleep.

on a much lighter note did sales of vB go up or down after the story aired? (free publicity )

[C_P]

I am kinda hoping the govt we live in is "smart enough" to review their site's info detail by detail. I am also hoping they have at least one over paid web or IT dufas in our highly in debt govt that we Americans pay high amounts of taxes to entrust them that they will investigate this stuff with the highly overpaid CIA, FBI, and any other acronyms you can think of departments we entrust with knowing how much we spend on a video.
Nice catch by the way, but let's hope that our govt is doing their job.....
Oh forget it, we're screwed.

I doubt it. Not many people are going to be able to look at it and think "Oh, that's vB3 on that terrorists website... let's go and buy it"

Additionally, no one here has access to that data, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be published if someone did
