Hey guys, I've been thinking of starting this service for a while now and just decided to. Anyway, the current media that I have found to be pirated at the moment is:

Project Blue 1.8c
Project Blue 1.6
Project Blue 1.7
Tons of EAI and Kravenwolf's media (including Errant's g36)
Silent Hill\Third Person Pack
Lemur Mod (not sure if this is a paid mod tho)
Plys Mod (put here because you're not supposed to get it anymore)

I verify pirated media to see if it is legit, via installing it and seeing if the pirated media is a scam or true piracy. Only real pirated software will be posted here. I will not give people links to the software, or even tell them where I found it. I will only tell the original owners so that they can get it removed.

Could the original owners of this media contact me and I will give them the links to the nasty pirates that have put their content out in the open. Also, for finding this stuff, I would like a reward but you don't HAVE to

I'm sorry to be frank, but everyone can use Google. I can search "FPSC Model Pack XX" and find almost 100+ hits telling me or showing
me where to get it for free. This information is very common. It looks like you got your heart in the right place though.

Thinking about it logically however, this is something I feel they could pursue without much investigation on their part.

I do agree with ASTEK, but it IS a good idea.




Just a side note, make sure to delete any Pirated Media off of your PC after verifying it,

@DoubleRThree
Yeah, I do, eventually. I have cleanouts every few months. I'm too lazy to do one right now though. I don't use that stuff anyway, I'm fine with what I have, my own media + free media + RPG mod. I'll do a cleanout soon though, I promise.

PS>
most of the stuff here is hard to find on google btw, anyway, I don't look for official model packs, just individual stuff. The hardest thing to track down so far was PB1.8c

What's the point of this?

You find the link to the pirated media, give it to the owners of the media and then what?

It's not that any of them earn so much money on it so they can hire a lawyer, sue them.

Whatever they do after I've given them the link has nothing to do with me. It's their decision.

Which someone could easily lace with a few back door trojans... if they really wanted to. It is an .exe after all.

I don't actually run them, I pull the contents from the exe. It's also how I install FPSC updates because it's quicker for me.

How do you pull the contents from a .exe?

Your heart is in the right place here but I think your role in this is more like a street pastor, just a fart in the wind.

There are literally more and more sites/links/seeds being born everyday, downloading, uploading, hotlinking... You would be chasing this kind of activity for a long time and the spectrum will only get bigger as more and more people use the internet.

Personally any media I have developed including software has also included a lot of verification and security. We have spent years trying to develop and maintain good encryption and security for privatised software developments but even with extracting everything to memory to include at runtime can be hacked. Unfortunately there is no fail-safe method for any content that is on a computer. People will always be able to access files/content on their computer and if they can't, someone will and then they will release it.

Top marks for what you're trying to do but in all seriousness I cannot see this being effective in any way, shape or form. Just my 2 cents.

i just don't understand why would anyone pirate or even upload fpsc stuff in the internet, i mean it's so cheap, everybody can buy it, i don't see logic in the pirate's actions, picture this:
you're going to the supermarket to make the week's purchase, food, cleaning products that kind of stuff, you're carryng with you an amount of 250 dollars, and if you spend 185 dollars you'll still have 75 dollars with you, more than enough to buy the editor itself, and you can buy it with the exchange of your damn week's purchase !
so you see, i just... don't see the point, and after buying a copy of fpsc, you'll still have cash to fuel your freaking car !

You're assuming that people pirate because of money or lack thereof. While that may be the case for many who download pirated media, the people who crack and post the media are in large doing it for other reasons, notoriety I think being the most common. If it were merely for monetary considerations, people would not continue to spread it around after they get it. It's fun to play pirate, just like the little script-kiddies who download malicious code, tag it with their handle, and put it back out. "Look what I did! I'm HACKORZ!"

When expensive software is available and no one is there to see you take it, your going to have to change the mindset of those who grab it. As one comedian said, spoofing an anti-piracy commercial...

You wouldn't steal a car, would you? Well, no of course not! But if my friend calls me and says... Hey, I just bought this great new car! It does 0 - 60 in 3.8 seconds. You want me to make you a copy? I'd have to think about it.

Currently there is an initiative to curb piracy by monitoring and controlling your downloads through your ISP. The way I understand it is that media companies download torrents and break them up so they can see who(IP) is seeding or posting the content. They then work with the ISP to stop the illegal activity. The ISP however is not concerned with piracy, but only getting paid for internet access. What they are doing when you get reported, is just slowing down your speeds. This gives them more bandwidth to work with and they continue to charge you the same rate. It slows down illegal activity, but doesn't stop it of course.

On to the OP... I have to agree that what you're supposing is noble, but just to simple to charge for, and to be done right, would be a constant and endless job. If you created an automated process to find peoples media and offered free notification, it might be something people would subscribe to, but I don't see you getting paid in any way. Keep thinking on it though. Great ideas are born every day.

Brian.

You can't have light without dark, right without wrong, good without evil, or internet without pirates.

@TheDesertEagle

I rarely use winRAR for that purpose anyway.
Anyway, from reading this thread, I agree with all of you, and I won't continue with this. A mod can lock this now. If anyone still wants me to look for this stuff and let them know, they can email me and I will look. Anyway, I kinda feel stupid now
