Is it true that you can run Nulled vBulletin on Offshore hostings??

[koolfire]

Hey,

I am just wondering because some of my friends from my community say i can run a nulled version of vBulletin on offshore hosting and vBulletin.com won't even have a clue that i am usin' a nulled version!!

Is this true?!?!?!?!?!?

I serisously can not beleive you just posted this here.

Why not just go right to the dragons mouth and ask at vBulletin.com...

[vanskills]

why would you want to anyway?

Its not like vbulletin i some stupid price like adobes 400 dollar products, yea alot of people pirate them cause their stupid expensive.

Vbulletin cost me 85 bucks for the best forum AND free support (forum) AND you can download a crap load of mods from vbulletin.org

Thats not worth 80 bucks to you dude?

It's not true. The software is owned by Jelsoft and they can discontinue service if need be. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've reported a forum that used offshore hosting and it got shutdown.

vBulletin.com doesn't have to have a clue as that is why there is piracy reporting. I wouldn't follow their advice as it will end up costing you more in the end than the price of a license.

Using any copy of vBulletin that doesn't have a license is illegal. No matter where they are hosted. Please report any boards that you know of to vBulletin.com's piracy page. Thank you.

You would he surprised at how easy it is to get a forum URL out of someone who says they aren't licensed. And the point is that you can not tell unless they advertise that they areusing a mulled version. Just report any that you think may be illegal. Jelsoft looks into it before sending reports to the guy who handles them.

Sure and if you live in the USA its ok to steal a car in UK.

How would you like if you had people make something and work on it every day spending thousands to pay the coders and designers and support staff and I just come along and use with out paying you for your services.

No you cant do that people like you will make us all pay more one day to cover the cost of your warezed board.

Ah it's not really like....using off-shore servers gives you advantages like being able to host porn and so on without being busted but I guess it's not the case with vb.
