People ripping people (2nd Round): DVDx versus DVDBackup

[MACC]

This is a follow up for my comments a couple of posts up. While I have not looked at all the apps on these sites time will not allow it at the moment. This is mostly for those who don't
really get my comments that I posted. So some examples.
First Plato DVD ripper found here http://www.dvdtompegx.com/ is still using DVDx in the main exe so no surprise there.

However at that same site you will find Plato Video To iPod PSP 3GP.
Price is 35.00

Then if you go here http://www.yaomingsoft.com/html/product_videotopsp.htm
you will find an app called A-one PSP Video Convertor
Price is 24.98

You know where I am going with this. Looking in the applications directory structure with
these apps side by side they look the same. There is a folder called app there are also
some interesting things in there as well.

I actually have this prg "No1dvdripper". Paid 60$ bucks for it because of a article in a magazine. Their support is nothing but the absolute worst, I eventually got it for nothing after complaing for 6 weeks with hardly any replies from them. I still can't get the thing to work. Gave up trying after I got "dvdxcopy" and "shrink" which are superiour prgs by far.

So what exactly does this have to do with this thread? Are you claiming that they were ripping off someone else's work? If not that's not really the point of the discussion here.

:scared: Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone I was just meationing about how bad this prg is. Yes that was what I was refering to Thanx DragonGodz Maybe I just didn't make my point clear enough.

Is this a good approach? I did this back in 1991-1993 when my classmates would always copy my pascal compiled .exe program. I had a bmp file's hex directly included in the program. If some of the hex got modified, the program will not run at all. So, on the program's screen or somewhere like about, we can have a text saying that if you paid for this software, you have been scammed or ripped off. The author's name can also be included in the graphic. We can also add a note that if it was downloaded from doom9.org, it's a good copy. Also, we can sha1 the hex bits to make more obscure or harder. We'll just have to use decoder func. Also, someone can write a proprietary image format that we can use there. What do you think folks? Or do you think these big fish thieves will just remove those codes and compile by themselves?

Here's another one: http://www.dvdshrink--download.com/shrinkdvd/index.asp

They charge for DVDShrink and don't even have the decency to host the file themselves.. instead they link to my download page which promptly triggers the anti-leech so recently I got an email from an infuriated customer asking why I'm screwing him over.

Is there anyway to stop this blatant abuse? I mean damn! How stupid to you have to be?

[foxyshadis]

I hope you replied back that they should make a chargeback while they can. That gets their attention in a hurry.

The want even threatened to go to the credit card company.. I encouraged him. But I just received another email that might be about the same thing.. somebody asked to cancel an order.. as if you could order anything from me.
