How does one report Pirated content?

Ivy

I was doing a search last night for some Jquery web site Templetes I have just released 3 days ago for sale on Templete monster Dot com & Amazon  to see if they have been hi-jacked yet, I usualy find them in torrents after about of a week of their release.

Anyway long story short I found some brand new released G3F Daz connect only products & some older generation4 stuff on a 2 torrents sites last night. I don't use G3F or ever bought anything that has to do with it .So it has no interest for me here if its removed or not. I'm just trying to be nice becaue I know the venders work hard on this stuff..  I also know I can't post the information on the forums, because I know the TOS says No topics about warez.   I was going to put a ticket in for it .. But I rather not at this point after the go around I have had here the last week, So if one of you Daz_Poeple  are interest & would please PM me . I will be happy to give you the information I found, I took a capture of the information and saved the links to the torrrent for you.

I just feel lucky my jquery templetes have not shown up anywhere yet because its such a SOB to get them removed . But I am sure that will be just a matter of time as well before that are.

I didn't think to do that.  I found something like this recently and I PM'd the vendor, providing the link.  However, even though the vendor has a forum name, I don't know how active they are.  I'll have to see about opening a ticket with the information I have, too.

Ivy, it is very big of you to try to stop piracy, but the sad fact is you can not stop human nature. I applaud your conviction and hope you are rewarded for your deligence. Trying to stop piracy is like trying to stop rain from falling all you can do is use an umbrella and hope you don't get wet.

Isn't the whole point of connect encryption, that sharing those packages is useless since they can not be installed by anyone other than the purchaser?

I meant that Daz released a new version that has DRM that has turned off many people but is supposed to stop piracy and within a couple of days, the DRM content is pirated. Sigh.

At the moment it is the only the first 3 products that are being seen, and they were released unecrypted for a short while, before that version was withdrawn and the encrypted version replaced it.

DRM is the process by which it is hoped to stop it, but has a poor track record. The encryption involved in the DRM process is broken quickly, and those that use piratted software are far less inconvenienced than those who bought it.

Hence the volubility of some of the posts on Daz's forums.

And yes, as has been said.  Please report any thing that you se by filing a support ticket, and citing Copyright Abuse as the relevant dept.

If it's the first three Connect items then no big surprise, DAZ goofed and put them unencrypted on DIM for a couple of hours before they noticed.

Back when it was just P2P and torrents it was all about ego, now with these file hosting sites it's all about greed, the more downloads they get the more money they make from these sites.

I saw that. And wondered if the 3 free with purchase over the weekend might have been in response. It's pretty hard to see if the encryption is working if the test products sneaked out the door unencrypted. Certainly no surprise they went up on those sites right away.

Glad everyone doesn't share your view on it. I have gotten satisfaction lots of times when I have reported something (not just DAZ) and it was dealt with. I used to do my fair share of d/ling music, etc until I started doing 3d work commercially and had my work stolen and shared, so I report things as often as I can, every little bit helps and if I can block some lowlife from sharing a file he has no right to share, I am happy to do it.

edit: I was apparently so tired from reading the insanity in the encryption thread that I didn't even notice what StratDragon pointed out below. Virtual upvote retracted.

So you were justified in your actions until it was you not getting compensation or was it that it didn't bother you until the moment you became directly effected? If this was an argument against the human nature theory you just solidified it's validity.
