This page exists to display proof of software piracy.

UPDATE: Not event 12 hours later, and the page selling my product has been removed! SUCCESS

UPDATE: I found another of my modules listed on their site as their own work. Gift promotions.


CMSmart.net is selling my module on their site, as their own work. ( http://magento-dynamic-category-products.cmsmart.net/magento-extensions/magento-dynamic-category-products ) 

I have purchased a copy of the module in question, to first confirm, without a doubt, that it is indeed my software being sold as their own. 
I used PayPal to make the purchase, and afterwards I issues a claim with payPal to recover my money. Paypal returned the money to me quickly (Thank you knidly Paypal). I see no reason why cmsmart.net should make money from me, on my own software. 

From the purchase I have determined that they are re-selling (illegally) version 0.2.9 of my Dynamic Category Products module. 
Although that version of the module is no longer sold as it was superceded by a later version, it is still copyrighted software, and may not be re-sold. 

Below some proof.

Since I tag each release, it was a simple matter to just download the files I wanted to diff from my git repo.  The image below shows my config.xml file from the GIT repo, with a clear indication this was commited 7 months ago.

gitview

 

and then doing an actual diff between the file purchased, and our own. From the diff you can clearly see they substituded 'ProxiBlue' for 'Glace' everywhere

A second test using the Helper/Data.php file.
You can clearly see they removed the PHPDOC header from the file, and renamed the class to Glace_DynCatProd

Fortunately it seems they host the site/page with HostGator in the USA. This means I can submit a DMCA request to hostgator to remove the page selling the software. (will update when I have a result on that)

To anyone buying software from CMSmart.net, I suggest you do a bit of a google, to determine if the software you are buying is legal, or pirated.

Like to give CMSmart a tweet, telling them how great they are? - https://twitter.com/Cmsmartnet   ( )
