Sealand Express pirated

Hi All

I am being my usual wimpish self again Sealand was pirated on the following site

http://www.4shared.com/file/25061911...d_Express.html

and at first I thought that there was a very simple method of complaining just fill in a form but then i find they want my address and my telephone number which puts me off I have enough problems at the moment without giving my phone to some herbert I know nothing about. Especially as this will be halfway around the world by now. I guess this is how these guys work.

The grandiose title adopted by our brave thief is lord_of_wolves2007

Any tips would be appreciated as always.

regards

barry

I do notice that this guy is registered in the USA and I wonder therefore if he comes under US law. Here is his blurb which seems to be an admission he is to do further acts of piracy.

"Welcome to my page! I want to share my stuff with you and hope you will find something useful here. I hope you enjoy my collection and come back again and "again. I will do my best to make the content ever more interesting. Thank you for your time! "

I sold a copy of this ship to someone about 2 days before it showed up.... It was someone who never purchased before.... I sent him an email that outlines measures I have taken with others - we shall see the result.

like I have said in the past most of these people never would have bought in the first place (except the guy that buys it to give away) so its really more of a moral thing than a financial loss... we will see if this guy responds to me

Well you know what they say any marketing is good marketing it was his cocky attitude that got to me. I have always left my pdf's open for mods but I am rethinking that. I am not sure it does much good anyway. Maybe I will make them email me to open them at least that way I would have a list.

anybody got any thoughts on it.

thanks for the backup guys.

I think barry these guys really mostly post on them sites for pirates models they have for a bit of an ego trip that they got "look what model I have got and go to my file and download". I doubt many download and build anyway as chris says if you get something for nothing you dont have pride in actually sitting down and building it and seeing how it turns out and then comparing to other builds of the same model.
