Here is the example.
User A registers at
Developer A's site.
Developer A asks for verification of license, checks out individual, found out is a pirate.
Developer A refuses to sell to pirate.
User B registers at
Developers A's site.
Developer A asks for verification of license, checks out individual.
User B posts in here:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/manual-customer-verification.34054/
Developer A sells to
User B, based on that sole info, because that is all that is actually available.
User B pirates said add-on, and is caught redhanded, due to ignorance of using same details here as on other sites, or dev gets nulled copy and can identify by certain files, etc....
User B banned.
User C registers at
Developer A's site...
repeat process.
Now.... if this "
User B" is listed under another license, the license holder is never effected by this. Why? Hell, who knows. They should bear the same responsibility. What is to stop
License Holder A from recruiting people to fill in the roles of
User A,
User B, and
User C? Nothing. Because they remain free from punishment. Why not be ahead of the curve and stop it before it KEEPS happening. You are seriously kidding yourself if you don't think this is happening.
Privacy? (I continually see my name brought up saying I care less about users privacy.. which is strange considering my other posts elsewhere)
What is so vital that must be kept secret? What damaging information is in that? An avatar that is likely some random image? A fake email? A fake age?
