I have a question about something I read

[Trel]

I was looking around on information on vbulletin.

I read something about a spyfixed version?
Does that mean, that version is illegal and removes parts that let it be spyed on by you guys or does that mean it was a security fix that prevents others from getting into it?

Any version that you do not pay for and do not download directly from http://www.vbulletin.com/members/ is illegal.

I didn't see it for download, I read that there was a spyfixed version and want to know what that means.

spyfixed is an illegal copy of vBulletin it means it no longer contacts the server to check for version updates.

When people do attempt to use these they last a week or so until our Piracy team is notified or the site is found during a scower of the web. At this point they are contacted with an email from our lawyers.
