From: Tom Willett on 8 Apr 2010 16:24 : You folks look like crybabies, bitching and moaning about who is stealing what : from whom and who is a good anti-malware expert and who isn't. There is room : enough for everyone at this table -- there is room enough for everyone who can : contribute ideas that will help to head off this invasion. and your little epistle isn't going to change anything. :

So it is okay with you to send folks needing help to a known liar and thief's website? ....or to not warn them about the ethics of the PCButts1 domain owner? Are you forgetting that "security" is in the name of this newsgroup as well as "virus" is? Warning folks about PCButts could be considered on topic for this group.

How about you get on the same page with the victims of this theft - they CONTINUE TO UPDATE THEIR PROGRAMS, THEY CONTINUE TO BE VALID AND OF USE TO MANY, but you want people to ignore that their hard work is being pirated, their names removed, and that someone is making a profit off their continued work? -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

[snip broken example that doesn't come close] The pirated code was unique, it is still of value, still in service, still being updated as new malware is released, and it's STILL BEING PIRATED AND INCLUDED IN ANOTHER PERSONS CODE. Get it now? The pirate IS STILL TAKING THE EFFORT AND CODE THAT IS BEING UPDATED DAILY/WEEKLY and claiming it's his code. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

So get a cease and desist order on him already and be done with it. And if that doesn't work then sue him. If the code is so valuable then it's worth hiring a lawyer to make sure it doesn't get stolen. |
