so that idiot made just a copy 1:1 of my entire code (anything contained in uif2iso and daa2iso).

and the ironical thing is that in the 2006 that same person complained about an individual who cloned his website copying its stuff and "making money with it":

really speechless...

Wow.. unbelievable.

I wonder if reporting their domain and proof to GoDaddy would do anything (http://whois.domaintools.com/crystalidea.com)

From what I hear, GoDaddy is pretty picky which could be an advantage to you.

I'm not interested in these things (law fights, requets of keeping stuff down and so on), I'm not RIAA or MPAA :)
my only job is making the thing public because I'm ethically obligated to do it, exactly like I did with MagicISO various months ago.

this lame program violates also another license, the QT one (http://qtsoftware.com).
in fact in the executable is written that has been used the Open Source license and NOT the commercial one:

Code:

This program uses Qt Open Source Edition version %1.

Qt Open Source Edition is intended for the development of Open Source applications. You need a commercial Qt license for development of proprietary (closed source) applications.

Please see qtsoftware.com/company/model/ for an overview of Qt licensing.

it's logical to think that probably also other licenses have been violated.

while the following are the lame licenses of the crystalidea programs (http://www.crystalidea.com/license-types) so no GPL, no open source, nothing of nothing:

Code:

Personal License

Allows to use the software on 1-3 computers (depends of the number of units purchased) of a home user. Discounts are available when purchasing more than 1 license. If you bought Personal License for 1 computer, after some time decided to buy an additional license or upgrade to a Site License please contact support for discounts.

Site License

Intended for using by business customers, commercial organizations and offices. May be used on unlimited number of computers but only within your company.

Every license type guarantees the customer life-time usage, free updates and priority customer support.
