They Can't Do This, And they Dont have The right to Send Emails Because This is Not Their Products.

So Websites Don't Take Them Seriously.

It's really funny to me where Audioz decides to uphold the law :cat_face_with_tears_of_joy:

Random dude from Russia: "I would like to post a link to this hacked software to your site."
Audioz: "No prob! Thank you so much."

Anti-Piracy Service Company: "We would like you to remove links to our clients copy-written material"
Audioz:"Wait just a second there... you need a court ordered document first."

Please note that we do not respond to so called "Anti-Piracy Service Companies", unless you can provide us with proof in the form of a document confirmed by a court that you are an official representative of the company you're sending DMCA notices for.
Otherwise, we only respond to take-down notices sent by the developers themselves, preferably from an e-mail on their own domain.

why big companies Like Izotope, Omnisphere, Native Instruments etc (just name of phew) are being pirated

I think the success of a company is proportional to the warez releases of that company's software. So to be successful you must be pirated a lot :p

I have few questions to @Natan. According to the concept

• First Team R2R , VR gets Demo or licensed from Real person. That means when a user purchases a product from website, does he/she sell to R2R or VR, Moria etc. ?

• What is the point? I mean If I purchase a product originally lets assume (Piano) why should I sell to Crackers?

• If we can encounter a user and a sudden huge sell by one person there might be a chance to get pirated. We can stop selling to him and stop from being pirated.

• If you see @Lindon pirated products, all available as Full Bundle.

• Sell Bundle products are bit risky ?

• For Sample based products Plugins and Samples (hr1) should be separated and hosted separately.

• Do the Moria,R2R,VR etc steal original products from website by phising?

• Can they steal Wordpress Digital Selling Plugins (Woocommerce) download link?

I am bit concerned since I am planning to sell my Music productions tutorials digitally.
For plugins manufacturers there is always a hope because if it gets pirated they can upgrade to the next version. But for video content creators it will be a total disaster.

hr1 is an archive, so separate.

[DabDab]

@d-healey I am asking when we deliver the plugin It will be a good idea for Hr1 file and the .VST3 or VST or .component file should be sent separately. And should be hosted separately.

[d.healey]

@DabDab There's no advantage to hosting them separately. The plugins should be bundled into an installer, one for each OS, no need to use an additional archive format for those. The samples should be in hr format which is equivalent to a zip archive. So the user should get at least 2 downloads, one for the plugin installer and one for the hr1 archive. If you have installers for multiple platforms, or lots of samples split into multiple hr files then the user will get more download links.

Can they steal Wordpress Digital Selling Plugins (Woocommerce) download link?

It depends on how you have setup your site. I use Amazon S3 links through WooCommerce, the links expire after a time limit so sharing them wouldn't allow someone else to download once the link has expired. You can also set up your site so that links require a user to be logged in to work.

[DabDab]

@d-healey Great.. when the link expires how the new links are generated?
Let me clear.. I want to purchase your Piano (just assume :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: ) Natan has already purchased and Downloaded so the links have been destroyed. How do I download the same product? Do you every time re generate the downloading link?

[d.healey]

@DabDab said in How to make Trial Plugins for 10 days:

It's automatic. When the user is in their account and they click download, WooCommerce generates a time limited link.

[DabDab]

@d-healey That means you have to set Downloads Types (from woocommerce settings) to Always Redirect. Right? Because by default Woocommerce sets it to Bruteforce. In bruteforce mode Links don't work well. It download random file (gibberish) .

[d.healey]

@DabDab For a long time I had mine set to x-accel. But then I realised this was running the traffic through my website, which was not good! I spoke to WooCommerce and they said to use Redirect Only, it's marked as insecure in the WooCommerce settings, but if you're using the Amazon S3 plugin it's fine.

[DabDab]

@d-healey Yeah.. I guessed right.. :)

[d.healey]

Another thing you can do is limit the number of downloads the user has, I limit mine to 10. Very occasionally a user asks for more but most users don't download more than once.
