someone selling xda-developers free software @ handango!!!!!!

Hi all,
i was googling for tweakui and came a result from handango.com => http://www.handango.com/SoftwareCat...Id=2&N=96806+4294910762&showBreadCrumbs=false
Check this guy is selling the tools he got free here at xda-devs.
the people who made the soft should do something about it...

I've just written to Handango. Please write to them to and get this thief off their books.
I have noticed that your vendor T.N Vietaus Trade (Australia) is selling a number of illegal (ie pirated or stolen IP) products, including Microsoft ROMs for Windows Mobile phones.
Also, he is reselling free products written by members of the xda developers forum at a significant mark up, free software for example being sold for $49.99.
Please ask this vendor to remove this software, or remove it for him.
Kind regards,
vijay555 (moderator at xda-developers.com)

What a ****en Lame ass *****. THat is just the lowest you can go to, selling stuff that is offered to us here for free. **** him, ive written to them also to get this ***** from selling stuff on there. Good eye and thanks for making everyone aware of this.

I've sent handago an email as well. Keep the emails going.

what is the email?
Found the HQ phone number, will try to call (cant call anymore sorry) but will need more info on this like what app and other stuff that you can give
305 NE Loop 820
Suite 600
Hurst, Texas 76053
Corporate Office: 817-280-0129
Fax: 817-280-9628

He has ebooks in http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/category.aspx?bcatid=1129&av=14-275257
And same app's come up in the Microsoft handango page that is linked to the Microsoft Windows Mobile Product page Site http://microsoft.handango.com/PlatformTopSoftware.jsp?siteId=75&platformId=2&title=T.N+Vietaus+Trade+(Australia)&authorId=1811375

Mod needed
Can a mod post this in other forums so that everyone that has made a app can check if their app is in the selling list

Email of the supposed developer tnvietaus AT gmail dot com
And if im doing something wrong in giving this out, this info is on the web

This is insane.

haha I just left HORRIBLE reviews warning people on all of the links you just provided Mike.. lol.
I also emailed HIM... and Handango.

no, I just let them know that this stuff was available for free ...
The thing that IRKS me is he doesnt explain that there is MORE to just downloading and running the update to these.. so alot of people are probably ruining their devices.

FYI, this is one instance where the DMCA can be used to your benefit (if you are one of the software authors).
Do NOT write to Handango, et al, complaining that someone is selling free software.
Do write to the resellers and state, factually, that this person is selling software that *you* wrote without your permission or authorization. Also state, very factually, that you want the software pulled and any monies charged for the software to either be refunded to the purchasers or forwarded to you.
What would also help out is if all the software authors were to allow one person (perhaps vijay would be a good choice as he is both a mod and a software author) to act on their behalf so there is a single point of contact for XDA.

Tell me the address of Handago (and Microsoft, If I have read and understand well) and I also send an email.
Just a thought: many here (maybe me too?) searchin' and using no purchased software, and therefore one of us (or one of those having this "habit", if you like more saying so) has found not violating any legal or moral law. World goes around...
Gubbài.

He is selling over 90 titles, and they are ALL available here for free just about.. he is selling the dang HTC X-button for 24 dollars! lol.

derma, I think everyone here is realistic about software availability and software use... read around for my personal views on warez etc.
The board however has a strict policy on banning for distributing warez.
But, it takes some particularly spiteful cojones to steal someone else's work and then put your name on it and sell it. And then selling at an absurd markup... come on. There's reasonable cheekiness, but that's just taking the micky.

Understanding doesn't mean accepting

Just to explain my position about this.
As I wrote on the title of this post, I figure out what it can be the reasoning of this person but meanwhile I absolutely don't accept what he did (or it's better saying "what he didn't do" 'cos what he's selling it's not stuff of his own).
My thought doesn't want to be a provocation, at least not a gratuitous provocation, but a simple-soft thinking about a hard problem: copy-right (and use-wrong).
Obviously this is a real theft, more odious than that "normally" made to the detriment of that author of the software who sell his creation having the conceptual rights to do that. In this case we can see instead a double somersault: he sell something not of his own that originally is (was) free.
Hope being plain.
PS: "cojones"?! Maravilloso! ¡Hasta la revolución, siempre!
Gubbài.

It isn't just the markup, its the flagrant lack of informing people of the consequences of attempting to use those warez without having ample experience with their device. He just says 'For expert. Use at your own risk' he doesn't say .. 'If you don't know what you are doing your phone is dead.. d .. e .. a .. d' .. I feel bad for the people who have purchased these and tried to run them not knowing about unlocking and what not.. it's a shame

OMG, another one.

Web Hosting

Attention all Developers, I have more web space than I know what to do with! I wan't to contribute to the community, as this is the best way I know how. You will get a sub-domain with as much data space and bandwith as you need. Well as much as you need for your android work, I can't back up your computer. Anyway if you are interested I will gladly host your files.
You will recieve:
SFTP access (includes shell)
Unlimited Data (within reason)
Unlimited Bandwith
Sub-Domain at blueman9.com
And if I host enough devs I will spring for a proper Android related domain name.
Best way to contact me [email protected]
I am now hosting files for:
Maxisma http://maxisma.blogspot.com

Same here guys! I have a couple of massive reseller accounts, so if you'd like to space either on a subdomain or your own domain. Let me know!

bump, in order to bump apparently i need a longer reply. LOL

Always up
Just popin it up again to see if anyone else wants some free web hosting love, already got Maxisma.

Bumper
Bumper rails for bowling.

Stop posting new post is somebody is interesting he will contact you by MP.
If you haven't receive any MP probably devs already have all they want.

Where are your servers based, and how much bandwidth do you guys have?

Yea or perhaps its so buried by every one posting on the roms threads. "Just installed your latest update!" that the devs don't see it. It's usually not somethign they are searching for. The have rapidshare, it just sucks, cause we all have to deal with adds and slow downloads.
And I'm sorry is 1 post in 17 days really that annoying? Especially when I am offering services for the benifit on all at xda dev? You really should find better things to post on.

California, and I don't have a limit on bandwith. I'm sure it is, but my hosting company says they don't care how much I use. We will see but it's reliable.

Making flyers to fight the SOPA act

Listen up people. This is what we need to do to help the public become aware of this very damaging Act. We can not let Big brother push us around any longer.And there constituents the big corporate companies. If you go to this web site and you click on the names of all the people that are in support of the SOPA act. You will see the huge contributions and a generality of where they came from.
http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/
What I and all the members of this site are in need of is something that we can print on paper that we can distribute to the public. So I ask the members to help us to get this done. Pleas come up with or help find the proper info that we can copy and past into a word document that will allow us to print it out and then hand them out to the public. I know that this is something that maybe I should do my self. But, I am on the road all of the time and I work two jobs. And have a wife and two children that I like to spend time with when I get home. I don't have much time to concentrate on this at this time. And we do not have much time. So I ask that you help us out. You do a lot for us in the community. And we as a whole are extremely grateful. We would not ask for your help if it were not so urgent. So I ask that if this is something that when and if done, you either post a comment here or you PM me the item in question. If this info is a collaboration from members and the info is PMed to me I will include if desired the members names that came up with the finished product. Maybe I am saying to much here as I some times do. Maybe this is a bad idea. But, I am not sure as to what else I can do at this time. Again, I travel all over New England all of the time. I will make as many copies as I can to distribute to the public. Also if there are any paper print shops that are willing to help and make prints to give out to people when and if this info gets posted here. I believe that we all will be extremely grateful for the help given.
As a matter of fact, I will make a place holder for the work of art that should be printed up. To the people in the print shops. I live in MA on the Northern boarder of RI. If you are going to pledge your support in this battle. I ask the members that are willing to distribute these flyers get in contact with what ever shop pledges there support and let them know when and where you will pick up the flyer's. And, as a note. If any one here does get involved in this. I can not stress enough that our conduct must at all times be civil. If we are in a parking lot and putting flayer's on peoples vehicles. Please be mindful of the accessories that you are wearing. So as to not scratch other peoples vehicles. And if the owner has the rite to kick you out of the parking lot do not quarrel. Just go and start else where. Thank you and i hope that I have not made to big a fool of my self. good day/night.

Place Holder:

I really hope this gets nipped...

i don't think many people realize how big of a deal this is..
i am all for helping out in any way possible to prevent SOPA

I've already petitioned my state officials via e-mail thanks to the EFF's website for this. I actually got a personalized email back from one of them.

More background information
Could someone please post some good links for more "true" background information for "foreign" users?
Thx

Fantastic. Done the same myself. Hopefully with enough complaining, we can get our representatives to pay attention to their constituents.

It was originally introduced "by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act
I can see that they want to stop piracy, but this is clearly the wrong way to do it.
And they're up to 30 co-sponsors now, by the way.

Keep on them "do nothing" representative's before they screw us again!

Agreed, im actually more concerned about this than studying for finals

I made flyers today and posted them everywhere with my friend.

That should be moved.
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda app-developers app

We get numerous requests from companies looking to hire bright engineers and developers, and XDA has thousands of people of this caliber. With unemployment at record highs all across the world, we thought we'd do our part by connecting firms that are hiring, with people that might be interested in work.
Are these paid jobs?
Yes, all jobs are salaried positions.
How do I get my job posted here?
Email [email protected] from your corporate email address. Provide the job posting and location in a format similar to other listings in the forum. We will do our best to verify the validity of the job.
Please note: We provide this job board as a free service, and will not be involved in any of the hiring process.

And most importantly - it is not selling content, this software is owned by Samsung. You only realize a donation, without entering into any transaction with the author of this topic.

You saying - You are not selling
You saying - Donation is not mandatory.
You saying - Download link will be available only after you get 50$
So I am reading it correct, kindly close the thread as it is against XDA rule. one can't make download link conditionally available. Yeah you can request donation for your hard work.

Good evening, this announcement, caller is not ready yet, the word ''donat'' used only as a recommendation to expedite the process. 50$ is just a forecast completion of the work, probably not the best equivalent my fault.

Being honest. ..if i had the ability to make international transaction,i wouldn't pay you a single penny .you know why ? Because of your commercial approach.
Mod attention needed because you have violated rules.
Go somewhere else and find a commercial site where you will be able to do your own commercial advertisement.
POWERED bY TWEAK Rom and ShuRiken

Mod Edit
If you make something , and post it on XDA , then , users may donate , if they so wish
Asking for donations before you release something is not allowed.
Please refrain from doing this
