You'll find some of those very tools in the market. It sickens me that nothing's been done about these obviously illegal tools.

Yeah, BoonEx should take a more protective stance towards the Unity Marketplace. This being a story involving 'Facebook' should garner some attention and hopefully shines the light on the issue relating to BoonEx.

Very interesting.

How ironically appropriate.  Facebook was launched in essentially the same way.... with unauthorized use of peoples information.

My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees.

You have to fall in love with 2 guys who follow facebooks precendence and create a site to laugh at them.  Why didn't they make it look like facebook though?
