Please have a look at this one:

Thanks. We actually had limited success with this before due to the country we are dealing with. I'll raise this to our legal group again and see if I can get the full court press again.
Brad!
Wow. Their ads are for downloading the most cracked software of 2006.... amazing.
I remember I posted about this a while back although, my thread has mysteriously disappeared.
Edit:
Here it is, Leechers can anything be done?.
so besides stealing the posts themselves, they are also promoting piracy from other organizations. :eek:Quote:

Thanks for pointing this one out.
Brad!
I thought ads were usually based off of the users browser history? by chance you have not been looking for cracked software from 2006? :eek:Quote:

Brad!
Just so you know, I was just goofing around with ya.

I figured as much, but over time I've learned that not eveyrone that reads a thread often gets the 'joke' or 'fun' aspects of what is being said. I wouldn't want those people lead astray.... :)
Brad!
LOOK WHO'S TALKING...
From their site (I almost spilled my coffee!!!)

@ Sid,
Not sure what you are referring to there? Although, there is an email address on the privacy page it might be worth sending them an email.
What I was trying to say is... It sure is funny "Websites" talking about copyrights when they themselves are stealing post from others :) "All rights reserved." for what? Stealing posts from other websites...? :lol:
Nah that email won't help. I am sure the legal team must have sent them several emails.
It's like creating an application from a pirated software and then trying to copyright it :afrog:
