I reported a site a while back that i found released vBulletin on newsgroups, and every single hack ever released from 3.0.2 up to 3.5.3


At last check the site was still up

How does a site release hacks on a newsgroup? I'm quite sure vB would go after anyone who is doing this on an ongoing basis if they were aware of it. Might want to let them know again just in case.

You really don't need to file a copyright either, but it does make it easier if you want to take care of problems legaly...

I know that covers written content, and I assumed it would cover coding work.. So, time to look at enforcing it. I bet the DMCA would be an aid to this just as it would music, programs & copyrighted material. Time to contact their ISP, DC or whatever. If anyone needs more info on the DMCA and noticing them, I will try and help. I've done it for content related matters and it worked great.

Good luck since most the actual files are hosted in Russia. At least from the sites I have seen.

Are both the site and images hosted there? I'm not trying to split hairs but even re-directing to them could cause sanction for a U.S. based website. Registrant address matters not..

Linking to the files does, however. Even if you were to get the ISP to drop the site(s), its owner(s) will prop back up somewhere else. The U.S. copyright laws have no weight in Russia.

That is right but if you know of the offending site and they are in the U.S. or any treaty nation (there are a lot relating to copyrights) you can have them taken to task over. Then, if they pop up again you still have a better than not (knowing) chance to track them to the next stop. It's a pain in the arse but I would do it if they came at me like that.
