bcn_246 used our news submit to tell us: "Not sure if the staff will be willing to post this (might count as linking to warez) but it certainly surprised me. Derrow (author of numerous, mainly free, audio/video tools) seems to have found his own way of protesting against people stealing his code. Assuming what he claims is true I have some sympathy with him. It seems that now many bigger companies seem to feel it is their right to steal freeware code for their own commercial programs, probably on the assumption that the programmers don't have the time or money to do anything about it. I wonder if either party will take any more action..."

"Video Vault uses my engine and code to process DVDs without my permission, so you can use this full version legally for free! (If you have purchased Video Vault before, then call your credit card company and aks for a charge back because you haven"t received a legal product. You can do this up to 3 month since your purchase.) |
We do not believe it is right to post links to warez. We
do believe that if peoples work is used for anothers personal gain, that they
should be compenated for it. If it is a freeware, then so much more important,
is the need to protect this persons property from misuse. The Internet can
and should be used whenever possible, to share knowledge and information. We
have no idea what is happening here, and we will not take sides, but we would
like to draw attention to the matter and we hope to see it resolved to all
parties satisfaction.
