May 3, 2009 at 6:59 pm #140832See “their” JD BAZAAR template . . . look familiar?
Unless this clown is somehow directly affiliated with JoomlART and has express permission to repackage JA product . . .
is this not blatant copyright/intellectual property infringement? I don’t think a Developer License allows for this – does it?:confused:

May 3, 2009 at 7:33 pm #303298Hmm. You are correct…looks like blatant theft. Would be interesting if JA knows about thisor not.

May 3, 2009 at 8:05 pm #303300No attempt has been made to alter any of the text in the pages…look at the content
Just had a quick read through I checked the typography and the pages are word for word identical.
If this is an attempt to claim a template as your own design while making it look different from the original….well its a pretty poor try!!

May 3, 2009 at 9:30 pm #303309Again, unless there is some official arrangement between JA and this guy, then this clown is an amazing A-HOLE.
His “company” address is:
P-205, Maharani Indira Devi Road
Behala
Kolkata
West Bengal
700060
India
Mobile Phone Number: +91 9748899661His email address is:
admin@joomladump.comVirtuemart is featuring this guy’s stuff on their Extension Section.
It looks like he wrote his own review as well – “Best Virtuemart theme ever” – my ass.In addition to bringing Hung’s attention to this, I say we inundate this guy’s email, site and any affiliate he may have –
letting them know what an absolute unscrupulous THIEF this guy is.>:(

May 3, 2009 at 9:46 pm #303310Looks like they are also ripping off the vm themes site too. I feel sorry for the poor suckers they get to purchase something from them.

May 3, 2009 at 9:51 pm #303311I can’t imagine that JA would agree to allow another company rebrand their designs and resell them.
Anyways, if this is indeed fraudulent, I would suggest that Hung report it to IC3:
http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspxI would imagine the site would be shut down in no time.

May 3, 2009 at 9:57 pm #303312Just left this as a review on the VM site: “How did a stolen joomlart template get posted on the VM site under someone else’s name? They didn’t even bother to change the wording on the typography page from JA to jd. You’ll probably get your bank account cleaned out if you purchase something from this shady outfit.”
Where’s Hung?hanifahmed

With all the money he makes here I doubt he needs to work a 9-5 job. 😉

May 3, 2009 at 10:24 pm #303319Here’s the responce I got in regards to the review I left on the VM site:
Hello Bill,
We received your review of Joomladump template, we can not publish the review as it is not related to the extension you are reviewing, but related to bazzar template which is not published in VMED.
However we thank you for bringing this to our attention we have emailed Joomladump
I suggest you contact Joomlart and inform them of this.
Peter
VirtueMart Extensions.My reply
<blockquote>
[FONT=Arial]Hello peter,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I am a member of Joomlart and it has been posted in the forum there.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I suggest you remove that listing which is on your website before you inadvertently get caught up in a copyright infringement lawsuit. I’m sure Hung Dinh will be contacting you about it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I’m also posting your reply to my review on the Joomlart forum.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Thanks,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Bill[/FONT]</blockquote>
I suggest you contact VM Hung.instantinlaw
