procedure for pirated boards (curious)

[jblaze]

i was just wondering what the procedure for pirated boards was.

contact site owner first? server owner? and then ask them to take it off, if they don't, persue further action?

Err I know to report. I just am curious about the procedure.

There's a thread floating around somewhere (gotta find it) but Jelsoft will not disclose the procedure because it is meant to be for only internal purposes only.

It's a simple procedure.

KILL! KILL! KILL!

I believe they ask the user, then the host, then their host and shut them down. I've heard the company they use is: http://www.nukepirates.com/

they are competitors. trying to steal members. and this is way too bad. they are doing this using a pirated copy.

It takes time and cooperation from the hosting companies to shut down sites. Some are more cooperative than others unfortunately.

File a support ticket, you might be able to get some information on what is being done.

Sorry, that's not a good idea. We don't comment on what steps are being taken on a specific piracy report. If we started doing this we'd have no time to provide support.

Unfortunatly hosts from some countries don't care and allow sites that use pirate versions of software to stay online. Some even encourage it. Not much you can do if the site is hosted in one of those countries.
