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!

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.

I need to dig a little deeper into this one. They are at least pushing readers back to our forum and limiting how much text in any one post they display. They are still over the "fair use" line, but I need to determine to what extent.

I need to have our legal team get back to iTag....


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?

Nope. I've had no need to. Any software I need, I either have legal license to, or can generaly get a legal license to without much issue.

In this case, the same people stealing content are likely cracking software or phishing for data.....

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!

@ 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.

[koolsid]

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...?

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
