How can he get away with this?

I know macroquest is open source an all that. But still this guy is what looks like to me trying to make a profit off the Dev's work here, and others who post thier scripts to this page.

Some of the scripts he offers for sale, the descriptions look almost like he copied them right from the writers post here.

If he can do this an get away with it, he is going to make a nice little profit off some people who dont even know this site excists for all to use.

[site removed]

simply amazeing, whats to stop others from doing if he can.

Makes one wonder if he has kept the scripts intact with the orignal writers name an all still in them. Then again i see no where on his site that e even mentions the "software" he is selling to be macroquest. So i highly doubt it.

Just noticed this guy is useing the oscommerce software for his site. He does not mention them or even have thier copywrite at the bottom of the page. which should be there seeing he hasnt done any real changes to the site other than his site name.

Well with the site being removed, i hope it has been brought to the devs attention. No reason this guy should be makeing a profit off thier work and others work who come to this site.

There isn't anything you can do. You can wonder if maybe he's violating this or maybe he's violating that, but the simple fact is his site will remain, he will continue, and that's the end of it. The more existing links, the more he profits. Have it your way.

Yea thats real smart isn't it. Here i was just pointing out that he is selling scripts for $99.00 that can be found here for nothing but the knowledge of how to use them.

It isnt my site, but it is a hell of an idea with the responce you just gave.

Wouldnt surprise me if some of those costly scripts he is unloading where writen by Cronic as well.

Oh well, was just pointing it out anyway.

really doubt anything he is selling is writen by cronic(being he would have to remove the security measures cronic has in it). Most of those people just get free shit posted from here and another site. they dont have the knowledge or desire to actually write anything themself.

How can he get away with this?
