Great idea!!! Piracy is the biggest threat to innovation there is. Anything we can do to help combat it is well worth the effort!!! Liked the page and look forward to any updates!!!

Nice one guys, this is something we all should support and put the fear of bejesus into all those who think it's clever to steal other people's work.

You can send a message to the admin with the evidence and they'll out them for you.

Evidence would be an issue there! :lol:
Which is why I didn't use his name in my first post; he knows who he is (and if you're reading this, I call thee a knob!)

C'mon chaps, please let's not derail a seriously useful and long overdue like this with 'other' matters.

This guy has either had the same idea or he's part of the same initiative: http://petemungo.blog.co.uk/

Blimey! :shock:

They set up a honey trap to snare freetards and have posted the details (Facebook pages / email addresses) of what looks like the best part of 100 people: http://www.sharethemagic.biz/members-only-area.php

If you know any of these people, you should reconsider the parameters of those friendships.

I'm not sure I entirely approve of their methods, but at least they're trying to do something about it!

When freetards pop up on the Magic Cafe their attitude is "What are YOU gong to do about it". This sting operation, apparently... :lol:

There's only one real reason why a freetard would prove in writing that he has lots of stolen goods to trade, so more power to the guy who thought this little sting. It's about time these people were made to pay. If information is their stock in trade then so be it!

Some of those names are very familiar and have been banned from TM for trying to trade stuff - if I remember right they became very nasty when called to task over their activities.
