i just saw this over on mikicun and thought you might want to look into it, from the way its worded he seems to be taking credit for your work or (quite possibly) trying to trick someone into getting a trojan using a illegal copy of P.A.M.

I'm sure people like JHdD will be happy someone is using their theme, and someone is using Tanisthalon's CamStudio. Blum

why???

Why does everybody what to hurt Ryan? Who will correct all the "human code" errors, specially from you two? Sure, some people might want to get rid of him 'cause of envy now that he's a mod (Steve), and others might want to do it 'cause no one at age 13 should be that smart (me), but let's think about it very (very, very) hard before we do anything.

Google mikicun

[Link removed by moderator RM: Illegal software available from link. John, contact me if you want the link]

Stricky a quess on my part but I have to suspect that John knows how to use Google thus finding the offending link should be a rather simple matter for him. So don't be offended if he doesn't contact you.

If the link is truly illegal then I suspect John's people will contact the offending site's people and it will be removed. To do otherwise grants default approval of the site which in turn means the link can be restored.

imo

Not the point

That ain't the point. He may want the exact URL.

And I very much doubt it will be removed. MiKiCuN has quite a lot of illegal software on his site.

hmmmmm

Not to belabor this too much but on the PA Home page it refers to the PA Suite as "It's 100% free to use, free to copy and free to share.". So isn't the other site simply "sharing"? And that's not only not illegal it's doing what PA says to do.

I think NOT

cause he isn't "sharing", he is repackaging (adding new Apps). That is allowed, but I think then you have to remove all PortableApps.com Logos cause I think they are trademarked like Mozilla's.
