I was shocked to find Softonic.com Offering my Script Fluff Busting Purity for Sale and Download Without my Permission



Thanks to yahoo site explorer i found out that softonic.com a website offering software downloads is illegally hosting my FB Purity greasemonkey script and also even more shockingly, charging people to be able to download it!!! outrageous! what a dodgy company! I have contacted them to get it removed, but have had no response so far. they have no rights to be hosting my script and even worse charging for it, outrageous!

It seems they trawl the web looking for free software, grab it, stick it on their website and charge people to download it, all without consulting the developers and with no regard to their copyright.

  1. Just after i wrote this post, i got an email from them saying they have sorted it out now, well i should hope so too.

  2. Perhaps they have. But never trust them. They are a shit specialized in reselling all kind of free and GPL software. They even sell emule!

  3. I should hope they’ve sorted it, too.

    Your work is magnificent – and I’m particularly keen on your flickr scripts – they make my flickr experience *work*.
