My Baron V2.0 panel.

Seems they didn't bother reading the end of my readme file - or chose to ignore it.

E-mails will be on the way to FSPlanet's ISP and FSPlanet themselves. I'll leave the content to your imagination.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I've copied it to several people in Spain connected with the service provision of his site.

We'll see what happens.

I saw it there too lastnight...knew you would be pissed. Somebody needs to copyright something and shut them down when they upload it on their site.

MÁ DOBA PRIJDE!

Entitlement to copyright is amazingly easy. the licence I included with my file is more than sufficient to persue thim legally, as are most of the licences in the software he pirates.

The problem lies in finding a solicitor (in the UK anyway) who know sufficeint about copyright and how it applies under international law, to be willing to persue it. I found one eventually last time I went through a similar scenario to this but I had to travel to do it.

Then of course there's the cost. However, in a case like this, it's pretty much rock solid certain that the costs would be held against him and recovered.

I'm not in a position financially to chase him, but the letters I sent to his associates and host should give him a bit of sweat on his brow.

I've a deal of tme on my hands at the moment and I'll spend it ruining his name in far more crucial places (to him) than the flightsim community.

Sorry to hear about this 'tipster'. While here in the US, simply placing the words "copyright" isn't enough to pursue legally... don't know about international copyrights, and even though it is freeware (right?)... People just need to learn to respect others and their wishes. I have never visited FSPlanet because when I started visiting Simviation, I had heard nothing but negative things about that place!

So... This is what I say "DOWN WITH THEM"!!!

Hey everyone,
Why not do what I did when they took a file of mine of this site and posted it on their own
Go to their forums and post your displeasure.
Not only will they remove your file..they will remove you....LOL
It worked like a charm for me.

After extensive searching of his site, it appears he's removed my file. His forum is currently off-line btw.

Unfortunately for him, he dind't remove it before I wrote to:

His sponsors.

His ISP.

His server host.

All companies with ads on is pages.

Veri-sign - He has a graphic up for them but it's not clickable - they probably didn't even know about it.

Recommend-it - I'll bet they don't.

His hit counter provider.

Basically, anyone who has anything to do with his site.

We'll see what happens.

The first reply I've received is from one of his advertisers.

They've closed his account.
