I recently came across this website dolphinmodules..com (maybe it's older but I don't have so much spare time to look for similar sites) which might seem as a innocent dolphin module developer, but the way they are doing business and the secrecy around it made me more curious.
They offer payed memberships monthly to give you access to hacked and stealed modules, templates, language files and so on. They also mention they do updates to all of them.
So fellow developers and designers, your creations have got in the hands of a large scale warez site.
Boonex you can also help here, making preasure on arvixe, I think it's time for you to protect the people that creates diversity and adds quality to your software!
Update1: I have sent 3 DMCA complaints, the first one about 8 hours ago and I haven't received anything back from them..
Update2: Thanks to Andrew and Arvixe.com the website has been deleted.
We should keep an eye from now on for the same domain and for similar ones. If we don't take attitude we will find ourselves in a vicious circle that can only discourage the existing developers to continue and maybe the ones that are thinking to start making creative stuff to enrich and bring diversity for all our communities..
Arvixe, per se, is a reputable hosting company and they may not be aware of this being a warez site.
BTW I think there is no developer out here that provides such a vast palette of dolphin products and I bet they don't know 10 languages on perfection..
Arvixe should hand over any information they have on the criminals running this site. They are probably not stupid enough to host the actual downloads on Arvixe servers, but you never know.
Its easy to find a 'quick bargain' if you want something pirated, but if your website is aimed at being ongoing, an income earner, or something you want to be as easy to manage as possible, then the support you get from developers is the most valuable thing to own.
I produce videos and have thousands pirated so I know what it feels like to be ripped off...
