To whom it may concern,
Today we were told our license, which was purchased less, then three weeks ago, was nullified due to violating an Intellectual
Property Violation clause.
We protest this action due to the fact that we have not done anything to warrant nullification. In fact, in recent weeks, we have had problems with people attempting to impersonate administrators at our message board as well as attempting to associate themselves with us. We (I) did contact an administrator at Vbulletin.org about it when we discovered that someone (who does own a warez forum) was attempting to use our licensed board in his profile. A complaint was made to [email protected] about it.
We do not host warez nor do we condone it. We have removed several members from our forum due to this reason. We even shut down our registration to keep people from registering with us looking for warez. Of course many of these bitter people "vowed" to take us down and even registered our name on various warez link exchanges (which is a hassle to get removed) but we are NOT a warez group or site.
Yes we do discuss the warez scene but we also discuss viruses, does that make us associated with virus writers? We also discuss cooking, does that make us a cooking site? We are a community that discusses practically everything under the sun from our children to how to get rid of viruses from a computer to even how to "hack" (modify) games (example Red Faction hacks aka mods). This does not make our site illegal. We even had an attorney look at our site to make sure we are not violating any laws on intellectual properties by discussing the latest news.
At this time we have removed the forums from our site until we can resolve this matter. If our license is not reinstated we do ask for a full refund because we did not violate any of Jelsoft's terms of service and as such why should we pay for something that we did not do? By either failing to reinstate us or failing to refund us our payment, that is akin to theft since we paid for a service that was basically stolen from us.
We do like Jelsoft's VBB but we do not like the fact that we were "nullified" without having the chance to defend ourselves and for the money we paid to be basically taken from us without that chance.
We do ask that Jelsoft reconsider the nullification or at least do the decent thing and reimburst us for the money paid 19 days ago.
P.S. Those two sites that we know of that has attempted to associate themselves with our legitimate license are still active. So why not go after them since they are warez boards? We're not.
