Dear XenForo Staff, please take a look at this

This website is from tuoitreit





This is unacceptable to steal other's add-ons

Dear @Chris D @Slavik @Kier @Jeremy P, please take look this

I’ve supplied proof of piracy before, they don’t stop it.

Really? When did you report this? A year ago?

 

[Ozzy47]

It was reported recently that. Also it’s obvious it’s him, his addon sales here are linked to PayPal that is tied to the website that is redistributing our addons illegally

Oh right, hopefully, wait for XenForo staff to respond, how is possible that he hasn't been caught and banned for over 13 years? It doesn't look right..

 

[Ozzy47]

It will be allowed to continue and he’ll be able to continue to promote his pirate site on here via selling addons.

they don’t stop it.

We do and we have done many times, when we have proof.

Screenshots of avatars and reports stating "this person is a pirate" are not proof.

Provide the proof and action will be taken.

 

[Ozzy47]

Proof was provided, the user is selling addons here via PayPal that link back to the site that is redistributing our addons.

Is it Xenforo's business to deal with add-on theft? I'd think not, its the add-on developer.

It's our addons they are stealing and redistributing.

Sounds you need to buy it and then submit your written add on with your purchased add on as proof.

 

[Ozzy47]

No.

Exactly. Xenforo piracy is their problem. Add-on's not so much. They could help by revoking tokens or whatever but its not really their problem.

 

[Seeker-Smith]

Why not report to the thieves host for copyright infringement?

 

[Ozzy47]

Hosting on offshore servers or where piracy is not enforced.

 

[frm]

No.

I mean that'd be my answer too.

But how else are they suggesting to gather proof? The onus to provide proof beyond screenshots has to be on someone as a completely same titled add on released almost immediately after a release by a developer with a screenshot supposedly just isn't enough.

All you have to do is click on the buy now link for the addons they have for sale here, the proof is right there for all to see.

But is it the same code? (Surely it is, but assuming so doesn't seem like enough evidence to take action)

 

[Ozzy47]

It's not about code. The users PayPal and the image they use is showing the same website that the person is redistributing our addon on.
