Site Stealing Hacks from vB.org and vBh.com

[Logikos]

I know that they did not get permission to take all those hacks from www.vBulletin.org and www.vBhackers.com.

***Link removed***

Is there anything vB.org can do?

URL in code so guest can't see.

Just report them to piracy at vb.com.

It is however very difficult to do something about sites in China

PS I removed your link. No need to promote them.

[Paul M]

Aaarrgg. I wish people would not keep removing these links, I never get to see if they have nicked one of mine.

[Deaths]

Yeah, same here :/.

I'd also like to give them a piece of my mind if so, hehe.

[Logikos]

I don't know why you would take the URL out, I'm not promoting the site. I acually added the link for the purpose that Paul M and Deaths has stated. And since the URL is in the code block then only license users will see it. I doubt Paul M will register to download hacks there or any other license holder. lol

I remember seeing someone post a long list of sites stealing and then distributing vb hacks on his site before ... cant find the URL now though.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You could PM them the link.

PS The site is already under investigation now and is reported.

Besides, even though us hack authors want to see the sites to give them our warm flamings, other, not so honest licence holders may tell their mates about this site. Technically they wouldn't be breaching the ToS because they aren't giving away licenced material to unlicenced users, per se. They are just giving away a website url...

Also, some licensed coders have been uploading our work at these pirate sites in an attempt to earn credit for downloading other warez. Not every person who has access here is honest.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

True Amy, already have some doubts about certain people.

And one more thing. These sites have access to our hacks here. There is someone with a license (or on the support list of a license) who is downloading hacks from here and reuploading there. This means there is someone who CAN see a link posted in the code block and will be warned like this of things to come.

It is just better to handle these things in private.
