Found some of my add-ons on nulling sites! *punching time*

Ah, maybe they'll get more honest folks interested.......I can't imagine many real forum admins bootlegging XF or add-ons. Some...but not many.

 

[Matthew2D]

I keep asking them to remove my add-ons. They keep deleting my posts. Now I'm getting frustrated.

Time for my bad ass side. Contacting their host!

They're generally located over seas, and will ignore the report.

But won't they take some action? Surely the host doesn't allow their sites to use nulled scripts. Unless it's offshore, and I don't think it is.

If the site is

• hosted offshore
• using an offshore domain name
• is registered offshore
• owned offshore

May the force be with you, cause no one else will.

The only plus side is that more than often piracy does indeed turn into valid customers. Maybe not 100% of the time, but those numbers are still higher than most would think.

I, myself, started out using a pirated copy... The demo was nice, but nothing could ever tell me exactly how the software worked on my setup, allow me to review code, and actually get a real world feel, without 1st downloading a copy and that must be done before I purchase anything (before I spend 1 cent). So until there actually is trial-ware for online software... Temporary piracy was my resolve.

With this said... There are those who pirate simply because they can and will never purchase anything. I have no respect for these people.
