Who knows something about Sketchupbar.com
-
We made translations on the purpose of free education. Now we have deleted our translation version of TW. For the future we will only translate software and plug-ins that are authorized.
-
Wow. if the site is hosting pirated software then why cant it just be shut down?
There is one thing translating software....but then distributing it without the author's consent is purely illegal.

The links still appear to be there.

We'd like to translate your software into simlifiled words.
When it has been clearly demonstrated that all links to download all illegal/unauthorized softwareon your website have been removed we can discuss this.
@bianhai said:
member TAS_1985,a young guy in study now,was expelled.so he can't represent the illegal links.
TAS_1985 was not the one posting illegal software on your website.
you have banned them for confirming something that is already known, that your website is selling illegal software while claiming to be a legitimate distributor of Google SketchUp in Asia.@Tas_1985
Thank you for saying that you will delete the illegal download for Twilight Render. However, there still appears to be a download button in a thread at SketchUpBar's site.In addition, we are still waiting for you to remove all links and threads regarding downloading any illegal/unauthorized software from your website. We can see there are a lot of them.
You can not claim that you are 'better' than the other guy because your illegal software is free...
Most people here would agree that the talented and enthusiastic Chinese 3D community deserves Chinese language software. Providing it illegally is not the honorable way to achieve this goal.

Dale, you're going off topic here... :thread hijack:
Please start a new topic if you want to discuss if users have pirated software, a bitTorrent movie, or a LimeWire song or two on the ipod...
Personally I haven't got any of the above mentioned...

So sorry,Fletch
You must refresh. We already have deleted them. I do not know how you can download them. Please give links to me, they once been verified will immediately be removed. -

I feel sorry about your situation but an example needs to be set. Once you have tracked down all the illegally distributed copies and you have sent out invoices and collected...and then distributed the revenue to the creators of the software, you are forgiven. Until then "the site or sites" you run or are associated with are criminal. Further to that, when you are finished the above I still might decide I want a more elaborate remedy and could be compelled to seek you out through your local authorities. I wonder if they have been approached already.
Respect My Authoritay!

..a comment from Yarmo’s recent email…..
“ We tell everyone there is no use going to the expense of tracking these people down unless there is a real crime involved that is of some scale. Software theft is not going to get you inside their door. In our experience, a crook is a crook. If they distribute illegal software they are normally involved in other illegal enterprises and have other elicit and incriminating materials on their servers. So we give their environments a good look see. When the authorities get involved it is because we have been able to find more serious crimes taking place from the servers outside the realm of software theft.”…if I was you I would tell these people they better start packing up.
We need more "Yarmo's" in this digital wild wild west era. The fact that this enterprise is pirating more than just Twilight I would be willing to bet the servers run a number of other "pirate" sites catering to different software packages and groups. Solo had found "Silo" and some other apps "for sale".
While not everyone here can claim to be a "pirate virgin" (I know I can't from my youthful days") we can work on educating people on why it is so bad. The greatest point I can find is the fact that Twilight is such a great bargain right now that its price point puts itself into the category of affordability even for a struggling Chinese student.

Why not they just get Kerkythea? it's 100% free and is Twilight without the simplified UI, infact it's more powerful with more options.

Very true. New PlayStation 3 games go for $60, and yet kids somehow convince their parents to buy them, all around the globe.

Messing up other peoples computers pays well if you do it legally
I do not believe it is legal to acccess any computer of any organisation/person with the intent to alter or interfere with the system. Doing this is no better than what these blokes are doing by nicking the software.
Shame on you for propagating the notion that such practice is justified.

Following the tradition started by Pete...
Snack break!
OK, I'm a lousy photographer.By the way, it seems http://www.sketchupbbs.com/ no longer allows visitors to see pages, only registered members.
Not the most transparent thing to do given the current situation. -
Not only have they closed sketchupbbs.com to non-registered users, they also have blocked proxy browsing, which means you can't use Google Translate to read anything.
-
Figures, once a thief always a thief. Now they have gone underground, well I have posted the images already (I host them now) and Google guys have been informed of the goings on with one of their authorized resellers, so we wait and see.

Yarmo is still employed full time doing this sort of thing proving that big business is willing to fight fire with fire even though the solution is illegal.
@unknownuser said:
Yarmo and others like him, probably less than 200 altogether on this earth are paid by companies who act under the authority of their local police force (in Canada that would be the RCMP)
Your lies are just as transparent as the pirates.
-
I interpret it like this: Yarmo is like Batman. You know, although what he does is officially illegal, he actually works with the support of the authorities.
-
Well, I was doing my best to turn the table，if you still thinking we are thieves, I feel sorry about this.
last night I posted some of my project to make friendship with you, but it was removed, I fell sorry,too.
farewell -

I can't describe the mess he made cause it was a bit over my head but the computers he was able to reach could not be recovered via restore. He would also leave them a gift somewhere hidden in their network (in Grannies Word files) that would fire up on a set schedule and continue, masking itself as a network connection scanning for an entry point. Thinking it was an external attack most would never find the gremlin for a few months. In the mean time they had to have a full time guy recovering computers until they found it.
Modelhead,
I think you will find that there are less than three hundred poeple on the earth who would believe that the police would authorise or condone this type of activity. Hopefuly you are not one of them.
