    New Levels of Suckyness

    Wow. Just, wow.

    Just found out that some people who had access to my templates (aka my clients), have created a piracy ring that just....puts out my products for free.

    Oh and yeah, they're making money off of it by hosting their pirated copies on those sites that pay per download.

    Ugh, now I get to do the fun process of reported each and every one of the files, which they had the foresight to host on multiple mirrors...

        Good luck; I'm sorry you have to go through this, but keep us posted on the lawsuit status, please. You're in my thoughts.

            I'm assuming that you can get them removed via the DMCA? Cuz I'm sure there's a lawyer that would love to have a field day with those "clients".

            Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
            DDD: Cuz it's cool
            So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

                When they're burnt at the stake, I'd be honored if you used my lighter to get them started.

                  I would imagine you should be able to get some money in damages out of this. This goes beyond calling for a simple "cease and desist" letter.

                        If possible, go after the Hosts, and/or the users'/hosts' ISP's...The users may not have enough $ to be worth going after. More to the point, corporations -- especially large ones -- are much more likely to give a damn about the DMCA than these piddly little pirates.

                          LOL Yeah I have, haven't I? ><

                          And actually, first issue is going to be figuring out who in the world is passing out this stuff. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to track exactly which license was used for those cracks. On top of that, they used a Blogger site to hide their identity from WHOIS. I have, however, filed a DMCA notice with Google, and am waiting for the files to be removed. Been two days now....sigh.

                            That totally bites. I hope justice is served soon. Best of luck to you.

                              I would like to find their servers' main processor and re-program it with a very large ax.

                              But CS.com does not condone such things, so I shall instead aim to kill them with MIND-BULLETS.
