found (illegal?) copy of Hide my WP

[Hans]

Hello everyone,

sorry for my bad englisch and i´m not sure if this is the right category, but i have to try to reach you guys. especially for this post, i bought a licence. I found a guy who sold the “hide-my-wp” plugin in germany, but he names it “wordpress security” plugin. From one of our wordpress client i´ve got this link:
http://www.wordpress-premium-plugins.com/plugin/wordpress-super-security/

And i was wondering: the whole description is an exact copy of the “hide my wp” plugin description: http://codecanyon.net/item/hide-my-wp-no-one-can-know-you-use-wordpress/4177158 Only in german. Included the disclosures sources!! And they sold it for 99€. That´s 106$!! Exclusive VAT!! Look also at the screenshots. I´m sure that this is the same product. Otherwise that would be a remarkable coincidence. 🙂 And i´m really sure that this is illigeal. The company behind the website is Amiseo UG, an online marketing agency. The guy who is responsible is Lars Fränkel and the e-mail is info@amiseo.de. You can find it here: http://www.wordpress-premium-plugins.com/impressum/ and here http://www.amiseo.de/impressum/

And i recognize that the other plugin “mega wordpress responsive kalender pro” which they have “developed” have also the same description like the real plugin https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/.

So i think it´s the new “business idea” from the company: stole the concept and work from other people and sold it for more money than the original. I hope that this reached the right person by wpwave. You doing a great job with this plugin.

i don´t know how this is possible with licence and the other security stuff, but I hope my description is clearly.

With kind regards,
Hans

Hey Suman,

it´s me again. I found something interesting. It was really unexpected but sometimes you have luck.

I was searching for a wordpress freelancer at odesk and was looking what skills the freelancer have. And by one of them i found this: https://www.odesk.com/jobs/Renaming-and-white-labeling-plugin_~01e149f933a06e71bc

So, the company really stole your work and your plugin. Hope the information helped to take these mother…er by the scruff of the neck.

Kind regards
Hans

Hi Suman,

how are you? Did you read my last post? That´s the best evidence, I could find. And i´m working in the same industry sector, Online Marketing and i have heard from many clients and other people out of my network, that he offer the plugin in different ways and to everyone.

Therefor exists even now a new facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/wordpress.premium.plugins

I really, really hope that you can stop this and that he have to pay a lot of money for these elaborate fraud towards your company and the client, who purchased “his” plugin. He makes my business life difficult and i couldn´t do anything against that.

It would be nice to hear from you again. And please tell me, if you are interested in new information, in case that i found something new.

Kind regards
Hans
