Beside the blatant copyright infringement, the name of the site is confusingly similar to DD's BHW registered trademark. Sure it's not a forum, but there is a case in the name alone.

The copyright infringement is the icing on the cake.

Sure, but that is just the icing for this case. The core to shutting down this website (IMO) is through trademark laws. Take it as you will.

I guess, you are referring to this...

Primary Tests of Trademark Infringement

Suppose you've adopted a trademark for a product or invention. You've expended tremendous resources getting your brand established. Suddenly you discover someone else is marketing a product with a trademark very similar to yours, or is marketing a product different from yours but with the same or very similar mark.

Is your trademark being infringed? How would you know? While the tests for proving (or disproving) trademark infringement can be extremely complicated, following are the two main areas on which you should focus. Remember, I'm just scratching the surface of trademark law. For more information regarding your particular situation, do more research online or at your library.

1) Likelihood of Confusion

You can't make, sell or name a product or product attribute that's likely to be confused with someone else's product or product attribute, and vice versa. Unfortunately, while this potential infringement issue is easy to understand, it can sometimes be difficult to prove.

Suppose you're getting some competition with your product or brand name. As long as there's no likelihood of confusion between the marks, then it's business as usual for you both. However, if your competition's widget and/or brand name is similar to yours - knowingly or unknowingly - then there may be infringement.

Examples are several incidents of individuals trying to bank on the established name of Microsoft, Inc., by using confusingly similar tactics. Several years ago, a small company came up with the name "Microsof." While the two company's names were different for sure, a one-letter difference, or substituting letters like ph with f , or using a mark that sounds like someone else's, usually crosses the infringement line. So the new company had to abandon its clever name - which was actually created to drive poor spellers to their website to drive up advertising revenue. More recently is a murkier infringement matter in which a software developer actually named Mike Rowe created the website "mikerowesoft.com." While Microsoft has aggressively pursued the matter to build an infringement case, their side is weakened because the case involves someone's uniquely given name. It remains to be seen which side will prevail. [\QUOTE]

You better read first! And if someone confuses, greenhatworld with BLACKhatworld, he's not in his normal condition!

Then I suppose you're the owner of the website in question? Hell if your not, you should apply as their defense attorney!

Put everything aside, he's running adsense on a cracked site, with [probably] nulled theme, and he's earning a huge sum of money... plus he has a campaign going-on at adwords/bhw and bing and facebook too [probably].

he deserves some appreciation guys! :D

Nobody likes it. Not you...not the THOUSANDS of theme developers, WSO creators, and other product owners that have their stuff shared on THIS forum daily. Just take care of it. By you posting over and over here and bumping this thread it just send him more traffic - and probably more downloads of your software. There are ways to handle it behind the scene and he will go away. Go that route.
 
When people steal movies on torrents it's ok, but if someone steals from you then it's not ok anymore! :D People even shared and copied my stuff, I never got mad about it!
 
@sashablack,

Sorry that your good sw is shared free by that site.. But why dont you contact the site that has the download link and ask them to remove it?
 
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have contacted the advertiser and await his response.

As this is a clear breach of TOS we've removed his advertiser account and notified the ad platform we no longer wish to do business with this service.

If he gets back to us we will update this thread. But as W130SN says, stay clear of this Green imposter -it's in no way affiliated with BHW.

We have requested that BuySellAds (the CPM marketplace we use for this position) remove this ad ASAP and ban it from ever appearing on BHW again.
