You obviously don't know how weak the DMCA is, or ever heard of offshore hosting in countries that could give a flip about US copyright laws...nevermind about having to hire an attorney to try and prosecute someone. All of your arguments are strawmen and weak. You've made no point about anything with your thread other than you're cheap and a whiner.

Seems to work well enough for Jelsoft and Invision.

Care to provide some stats to back that up? I happen to know Howard at Pirate Reports quite well and know from his experience and my own that 90% of pirated sites do not get shut down.

the guy who started this thread does have some argument and i agree with him.
The prices for any hack is really expensive these days and people need to get a reality check and stop asking for hundreds of pounds for a small hack. TBH vbulletin is nothing like it used to be in yrs gone by.Members would help one another and if u asked for something - someone would knock something up for u and post it but these days its all changed - the only reply u will get is `how much are u willing to pay` Everyone is sitting on the side line with paypal accounts at the ready waiting for the next `Requests for paid hacks` thread to appear. |

Do you know how much hiring an attorney costs. Do you think a coder should spend that much money just to release unencoded scripts to please you. Also dealing with attorneys will also take your valuable time. Thats why that is the worse option for a small company or a coder.

I'm not sure where the connection is failing to be made.
You suggest that people should work for you at no charge to you. Then claim that they should also have no protection over their work. You insist that if a copyright violation were to occur, they can always go pay solicitors to fight the good fight like other software houses do (i.e. vB and IPB which oddly enough CHARGE YOU FOR THEIR SOFTWARE). You know what? I like to read. But I am really sick of having to pay for books. Why cant authors just produce free books. On that note, all music, movies and petrol for my car should be free as well. Why? Because I am me! The welfare mind set and its accompanying arguments are ignorant. People contribute on here for free all the time. The ratio of free mods to paid mods is most likely greater than 100:1. You are really complaining that the 99% isn't good enough for you? You must have it all? If that is the case, then any functionality that you do not want to pay for (i.e. vbSEO or any other commercial system you used as an example)... go make yourself instead of crying that others should do it for you at no cost to you (just time and money for them). Its really not any more complex than that. Quit expecting everyone to give you something without anything in return. |

You have made your point, now may I?

1. Nearly completely unusable for the purpose of the modification. Lite enough to make even the basic 3.7 album system that's constantly been criticised for this look as feature rich as vBulletin itself. 2. It's basically a great big advertisement saying 'buy the paid product' on a free website that doesn't allow paid products. Think of it like those people who might post three lines from a paid article and then say underneath 'to read the rest of this article go to mysite.com and pay ?999.99'. Seriously, these kinds of mods are really pushing the rules here to the limit in terms of near uselessness. At this rate, it'd wouldn't surprise me to see time limited 'Lite versions' now and people getting moderated for it. Quote:

Sorry, but I couldn't resist We aren't ordinary fans - all posts I have read here are coming from professionals or at least upcoming coders and designers. We are the film-makers, and you are watching our movie and hate to pay for it [/quote] The point still stands. You don't need 'expertise' to criticise anything. It's a very similar argument to saying 'only a scientist can criticise scientific knowledge' or what not. Saying 'I'd like to see you do better' and expecting that because someone cannot do better at whatever means they're wrong is a fallacy. You don't need to know how to make movies to say how a movie sucks, or know economics to say that there are unfair business decisions or various other stuff. Sometimes I really wish vBulletin would have a 'no use of code in paid deriative works' addition to their terms of service to stop much of this. |
