Just hope that this thing will get fix
I wish someone would sell one of my products in this manner. I will bring in every lawyer in the book after their a$$. anyways.. I wonder what's taking them so long to get this shit site down. If all the publishers of these products complain to Clickbank. Clickbank should do a better job of tracking and helping find a solution to shutting down sites like this: It hurts the business model. CLickbank makes millions of publishers and affiliates, you think they would have a team dedicated to issues such as this... anyways.. Your request has been submitted.

The hosting company is not going to shut this site down they dont givew a rats ass about your proucts being copied as ling as they get their money from him thats all they care about!! I guess thats internet marketing!!
Well, this is why digital products needs to be password protected per users or needs to require a pin number to access that only publisher has ... especially high ends stuff like the ones he is stealing. I know when I launch a cb product it will not go out till it has that feature built in. Stan
so which is the worse of the two evils? someone being accused of digi products that we probably do not know enough about because we are to take the word of the user that started this hate thread, or is it more right for this user to come here, post this, and drag others into filing fake complaints against this other person? Does not seem this person is anymore better then the actual store front in question, and if he is selling your products, do you really think he is the only one? You need to live your life and move on, these are battles you are most likely are not going to win, as far as the host or anyone else getting your complaint emails is "its just one word agasint another" the host is making money off this guy, a complaint is just a complaint that anyone could send, if you want them to take you serious, then file actual legal action againt the domain, owner for software piracy, maybe someone will listen to you then. I am not listening to you because you are having others do your dirty work for you "just on your word"
hosting providers do not control domains, they will not shut him did, and if they did, he would have a new host the next day that would not care. You would have to go to the source such as icann, or whoever regulates domains, and I doubt they would not do anything unless they had a court order, but going to the host to complain only really means you do not really know who to complain too, as the host has nothing to do with the actual domain itself.
do not hold your breath... did you hear about the one of the top spammers were just fine and or jailed after years of spamming. he got away with this for years, and after making many millions of $$$, well it just caught up with him in the public eye. I doubt anyone will care enough to shut his domain down off, much less, this is a pee ant complaint "someone stole my digi software" it will not go any futher then this, next year he is still going to be selling.
Same form response for me, as well...

dscurlock - You sell stolen merchandise don't you? Are you the thief? I'm sorry, but too many of us know DC well enough to know that he did not start a hate thread. And the rest of us have a moral obligation to make sure that scumbags that sell stolen merchandise get snuffed out, or have a very difficult time doing business. Personally I think that it would make a great niche for a website - snuffing out digi-thief's. As long as it was properly monitored. Another thing we could all do is to report it to paypal. - The perp here is using paypal for their payment processing. If paypal gets enough complaints - they'll freeze that account in a heartbeat.
Maybe dscurlock is the admin! I kid, I kid. Whoever did create that site is super lame; what he would make for 4 illegal copies of Forex Tracer he could make with one legitimate sale...
He's got himself quite a collection of products going doesn't he? Unreal. Hopefully with everyone sending in complaints he will get taken down quickly.
you guys seem to be sure he is actually selling anything, but anyways...paypal is credit card driven, and they are not the only merchant on the net, there are less then legit merchants out there that would do business with him..IE: SWreg.org I know you guys mean well...I think it is just wasted time when you could have put more time into your own business. If you sell digi products, more then likely they are sold across the net, this is just one site you happen to run across. I would not be surprised if they were sold on DP.
