Hello,
I've been selling a software program for a few years and recently I found out that my software is listed on a bunch of software download websites with a different name and publisher. The scammers took my software, made a pad file and submitted it to various download sites - this way they gain backlinks as the publisher of my software.

Their website is: joinultraselects dot com

A DNS lookup of the site reveals the following:
Administrative Contact:
Smith, Brad, paid4life at shaw.ca <-- scammer's email address?
Java Wealth
220 Cedarwood Park SW
Calgary, Alberta T2W 5T6
Canada
(403) 255-6272

I am not too versed in legal matters, but presenting my software as your invention does look a bit illegal?
Now I want to do a bit of damage:
- I can email their hosting provider, but they can move to another host
- Is there a way to have their domain seized? It is registered with GoDaddy

Have in mind that I am Bulgarian and if I were Canadian maybe I would have had an easier way going after these scammers.

Finally, don't use that tactic to gain links. Please, respect other's people work.
