I did biz with that dude only once. That was enough. He was a shady fuck.
BTW whats with the racism against indians? Simply Pathetic!
Barbra Streisand effect... having a cry about it has probably done your list business more harm than good because you just let everyone know where to get your product for free.
Anyone selling an information product should just accept it's going to be copied/shared and should price that into the cost of their product.
If your only business model is to sell a list of URL's then you have much bigger problems. Let's not ignore the fact that many of the people who think this is wrong reuse content such as images without permission on a daily basis, download copied music to listen to while working and I bet not one of you have a legit copy of photoshop.
He shared a list of URL's? Cry me a fucking river.
its doubtful the next one gets posted there
Quite literally taking money out of another man's pocket, possibly food out of his children's mouths, and tarnishing his business is unforgivable. We are all here because we are building business. Ruining another man's business for some digital e-reputation on a forum is ridiculous. That's extremely selfish, if not sociopathy.
Ban was the only appropriate response. Thank you, moderators.
Considering there is more than just 1 of his products over at BHW, I very much doubt that
It did.You would have thought the Free Market could have sorted this problem out, without the intervention.
It did.
That is going to happen.Wouldn't the market response be that the offender wouldn't have anybody that wanted to conduct business with him going forward?
Why shouldn't WF also not be able to choose not to do business with him?Mod banning seems somewhat "regulatory" to me.
When your response takes up more space than your banner I might take you seriously but I'm guessing you have not heard that term before.
Just for the record, I'm not advocating his behaviour but lets get real, this is pretty common. Much better to send a mod a PM and have it dealt with privately instead of broadcasting the exact place to get your stuff for free. The people copying your stuff were probably never going to buy it in the first place but now some potential buyers probably won't either.
He fucked over everyone who bought faceblogger's list
This I agree. this isn't some rookie mistake either. You make a mistake, you pay for it, getting banned is fair.
