I got this e-mail at 5:00 AM this morning and I am wondering what is going to happen?


Date: 06 May 2009

URGENT ACTION AND RESPONSE REQUIRED PLEASE

Re: vBulletin Software use at Big Brother Fan Forums - Powered by vBulletin

vBulletin actively protects its intellectual property through "Pirate Reports" (Pirate Reports) and is keen to avoid formal reporting, to identify any administrative errors, or errors where license owners may have incorrectly followed the registration procedure and licensing terms and conditions. The license agreement can be viewed at vBulletin - License Agreement

If you are receiving this email as a network or host we are having difficulties making contact with an end user and would ask that you please assist by passing this email to them so they may have prior notice of our intentions to take further action in the event that the matter is not resolved.

NOTIFICATION:

I am a Copyright Enforcement Agent for Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd., Howarth Lodge, 7 Reading Road, Pangbourne, Reading, RG8 7LR, the exclusive owners of vBulletin forum software.

The licensing database indicates that there is no current license linked to the use of the above identified software's (by reported URL or IP address) and I need to confirm with you if there is any logical reason for the omission. If you have not linked your license to the location where the software is in use, as a necessary part of the software registration process, please log in to https://www.vbulletin.com/members and do so without delay. Please then notify us so we may close our investigation.

If your financial records indicate that payment has been made in relation to the reported software please contact [email protected] and ensure the payment and license information is correct. If you do not have a license please delete the software or license it immediately at vBulletin - Order Form

The sender accepts no responsibility for an end users incorrect registration or failure to do so as the Terms and Conditions of Use are clearly explained as an integral part of the purchase procedure.

Your not in trouble, your in BIG trouble, save the pain and more offshore, they can't do shit about it then, but if you do have a license then go shove it up their ass. That will also make the stop and you don't have to worry as well. If you are already on offshore then just bin. Like I said they can't do shit.

I'm not sure if I'm "offshore" or really what that even is? I have a Virtual Dedicated Server with GoDaddy. It's like $50 a month. What does it mean? How can I do it? I just run a small forum, nothing big.

What could they do legally about it?

Thanks for the help guys. I like what I'm seeing from the first link posted.

How can I move my forum over easily? I have quite a few databases and what-not? I moved once before and lost a LOT of stuff. Does anyone know of a guide to moving offshore or anything that could help?

What is my time-frame to move before they spazz on me?

I don't believe there is a link to click on at the bottom of my forum. I'm using 3.8.2 nulled, from this forum - and I also don't believe anyone knows that I'm using it, besides you guys now.

I just don't get it. I don't understand how to change my forum to offshore either, without interupting the forum forever.
