Why are vb.org's mods getting ripped/redistributed?

In a slight french accent...

But of course

They will pay for a license to get the versions they want to tinker away with, and as a bonus they get to DL all the mods they want and view all the codes and such w/o a "Only Licensed Members can view blah blah" and find more useful info. They would be stupid not to do so if you think about it. Still hate the ones doing it and one site had it to where you had to prove your a vb owner... when I take my new site public (3.8.2) and I post any mods for DL, the actual DL link is going to be the one on here so they will in fact have to login and that will prove they at least purchased a copy since they are licensed on here. I just think some sites that put up their own mods for DL on their own sites should not even if it requires registration as when they are registered there goes your work out the window.
