Topic: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Due to the increadable amount of piracy, all free usage is temporary suspended (you can still use it on your own website with link-back activated and no ads, but no new users may download the software). This goes for all our products.

The main reason is this website and others like it:
http://www.nulled-warez.org/showthread.php?t=2555
http://dumpz.ru/printthread.php?s=f7d23 … mp;t=11697
http://scriptmafia.org/2007/11/18/demo_ … ml#comment

Why they would want to destroy for free software, I do not have a clue. Feel free to contact the owner of the sites above or tell them your opinion in their forum.

This is probably only temporary until my anger is under control wink

Are

are, i think you are right. Until this time you allowed using this script for free but some stupid people doesn't understand your kindness. And you will see that, a lot of people will buy your scripts after this time wink

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Dear are,

I guess you have right. My question is after you buy the license the downloaded scripts are the same as those which were some days ago free?
If for example we made some tests and try the configuration for a site using your script downloaded for free may we use the same stuff without changes when we have the license?

Thank you,

Yes, it is only new downloads that are stopped. So you can use it just like before this.

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Most important sign for new Costumers why they should buy at least one license to be able to download the programm is this lively Forum. voila.

I am too for buying the program once, and I recommand it to new visitors.

Plus it is not fair for onces who baught the license to be involved helping ones who just want to try it for fun, this way it will be a lot better to put your Ideas on this Forum.

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

u are right!,

at the moment i'm using your code for test the bugs and other few things for know if it will work for my needed or not, and if the code works, i will pay the license, i thing, is very good because in that format the user can have a support in minor time, and can be a person for suggest new things in future versions.

regards and succesful!

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Alas AcidMods.com comes way to late. I would love to use your product and would give you top recomendations if the software works for me. But as im no rocket scientist I cannot drop money on a product with out finding if I can even get it working. I have loaded tons of scripts in the past to find out I done have the correct psp version I dont have a SSL licence I am using a X sever verses a Y server. The gods dont like modays.. Please dont punish honest people for the actions of others..

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

I understand perfectly how you feel. I loose about $10,000 a year on stolen goods alone in my stores. You try to make an honest good living and some vampires suck the life out of your hard work.

In whatever decision you take to protect you intellectual asset I am 100% behind you. It is unfortunately an unfair world. Good people are becoming scarce. I haven't given up on doing the right thing by what I believe but it is sure very hard to keep your integrity. I can only teach my kids to be fair and not to harm anyone.

I like your demo I am thinking of purchasing a copy. This will I hope cheer big_smile you up that there are still good people out there.

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Hi Are ...

I 'm with you; is inadmissible your good work are free for others ...
I bought a license of your product, for which I believe that it(he) is very good and fulfills my expectations

In another order, say this option, i think is good for you : Encode the php files

Look this other product for tourism rural...

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Creating and charging for open source software is unfortunately a double edged sword. On the one hand the open source code allows you the benefit of people like myself and many others on the forum to help develop and debug your code without the need of employing other people and thus speeds up the process of getting an application into the market. On the other hand you are left wide open unscrupulous people who wish to take advantage of your ideas because they have no ideas or are unwilling to put in the enormous effort it takes to create complex and innovated applications. Encoding parts and allowing download and asking for free help from users only puts people like me off an application.

What can be done about it

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Oh are what have you done?
There is no doubt that these pirates probably work together with potential funding of some crime organisation.
They will just simply buy the finished article from you and then try and sell it.
$349 to them is nothing but to me if I want to do a community site it is a none starter.
Surely you can put some code in to verify the site has permission to run your code?

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Hi all,

Maybe this is correct, but for me the important (or not more important) not is the soft, is the product ...

I want say, for me the important is the contents of 'portal' like sale cars, houses or ad's, produtcs, not the changes in the soft.

This little changes or adaptations into the 'portal' is only for the users; they can see  differences between two systems with same product (phpClassified by example). We can change WITHOUT program code the style, templates, logos (of course), colours, and so....

If one day Are thinks to codify the code and the result of the program is good, I will continue buying it.

In another order the concept of 'open source' is very dangerous for this cases. The people thing OPen Source = software free. This is the problem, i thing...

This is only a point of view...

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

I'd really appreciate it if some way could be made to request access to the free version. I'd like to build a site on your product and eventually pay for it if things pan out but if I can't even try it out I will never be willing to pay money for it. Ironically, you've made the pirate sites the only way for paying customers to try the product out before buying, and since I'm not willing to use the pirate sites, I just can't use the product at all.

If you aren't willing to do requests you should setup a mailing list for people who want to try the product out when you make it available again.

Thanks!

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Due to repetitive piracy on php classified ( $349 version 7 !!)  I closed site one more time (!)  by chmod all files to 000 .
I try to put it again on line ,  but what is default chmod to give to files ? 644 ??
And I presume some files have to be in 755 . What files ??
And my site is closed by my hoster !!

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

I would like to try your calssifieds and there are a few things i would like to integrate but im not prepared to loose $349 if it doesnt work.

I have spent some time looking at this forum and have seen many security issues and bugs, and the fact that the new 7.6 has been coming soon for almost a year raises some concerns, which i why i would like to try it first before parting with that sort of cash.

would you be able to send me a link or a zip file with 7.5 in so that i can evaluate it and see if its the right thing.

I understand your reasons for doing what you have done, but i have taken the time to register and read all your forum, and now to contact you as i very interested in your classifieds

Thanks in advance.

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Since there is no free license for PHP Classifieds anymore, the main page http://deltascripts.com/phpclassifieds looks misleading. I guess it's about time to remove any mention of free license from that page.

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Hello ARE and the rest,

I also think it's a pitty that the free version isn't available anymore. I wanted to use the free version non commercially. Paying 349,- for something I want to use non-commercial is I think too much. But I also can understand the point of view of ARE. Why make software free if people cannot understand the beauty of it.
But I think I have a good alternative for ARE. Why don't you make two versioin: 1. Commercial. You keep the price as it is now. 2. Non-commercial and you charge for example 20 dollars or something. I think for a lot of honest people who only want to play around a bit and use it non-commercial 20 dollar shouldn't be a big problem. And by doing this, you can track down all non-commercial users. Also you earn extra.
Please take it into consideration asap.

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

Are, I'd appreciate the chance to have a play with the software on a non commercial site.

My vision is for a non-profit site that allows people to barter their skills - something to hopefully help many people to overcome the recession by cutting out the necessity for cash. I'd be more than happy to keep all link in the software as they appear..

I don't mean to pull your heart strings, but this would be purely a community project.

Thanks
PG

Re: PHP Classifieds no longer free due to to piracy

hey are. looks like most the piracy sites are down and the rapidshare links are gone. anyway i could get access to the 7.5 version w/ a non-commercial license? i'm still running on the 7.2 version and i just got hacked.  =[

btw. you should encrypt the free version (if you start giving it out again) with double layer encryption techniques to at least make it harder to null for the pirates. I did this with one of my scripts and piracy virtually stopped.
