Some site is ripping products off from here

there are small things that most of you genius coders can do, and first of all is ask for some co-operation from the vbulletin coders

it would be easy enough to implement that all hacks downloaded here, get "married " to the downloaders' account , his own unique bought , paid for, and tracked license

any hack that is done in this way can then be traced , unless modded by some other hacker to remove licensing, but that then becomes illegal, and enforceable, and not something most would allow

furthermore, there can be coding written directly into mods that become dated, and must be updated regularly (even automatically) through licensed portals, a little more work, but this will make it less tempting to distribute and re-distribute other peoples work

just one added note, most of the remarks here sound so innocent as though nobody has ever plagiarized or used copywritten material before, without permission.

I wonder how many here have "tested" software that wasn't received through the proper channels....hehe..ahem

let's be realistic, there is no way to ensure 100% un hackable softwares, it just doesn't exist, so to the coders, I wish that you realize that the more popular you become, and the more sought your product becomes, the more it will be illegally distributed....take it as a compliment that you're doing something right
