    ViceTemple is stealing our themes & plugins (and even our competitors too)

    Hi everyone,

    Quick thread to inform that ViceTemple.com is currently stealing our work and that all the wp-scripts products bought through them will be banned definitely.

    We DO NOT have a reseller plan and ViceTemple is definitely not a partner.

    We also think that our competitors are not aware of this.

    The cherry on the cake, they even copied our "How to start porn site guide" and we have the proof of that.

    Be careful.

    Here is the product page from ViceTemple

      You should try running through the purchase process and actually see if they install it for you unlicensed, then you will have proof for potential legal action. They may well just be intending to buy from you when a client orders and then installing that (and may have had no orders yet via their site).

      They claim to offer a 45-day money-back guarantee no questions asked so just order a vps and see if they install your script and then request your money back. At worst you'll pay yourself for license of your own software and be out the card processing fee...

              I checked my emails looking for vicetemple. They did seem to have contacted me a while back asking about a reseller license it looks like so they probably aren't just straight pirating 80% of the tube scripts in adult.

              That being said, "Home to the largest adult hosting network on the Internet" and I've never heard of them before that?

                  It is not just you, WP-Script, but also other theme providers: https://vicetemple.com/embedded-adult-script-hosting/

                      Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately we don't think they purchase a license on our shop for each user that purchases a WP-Script product on their site. For example, AdultVideoScript wasn't aware of it too, and they removed his product from their script's list immediatly after he contacted them, so it's suspicious...

                          They also contacted us to inform us that they were going to copy the content of our started guide under the guise of a pseudo collaboration. And they actually took over a huge part of our content.

                              Very sketchy then. Also worth noting their own site is hosted on cloudflare which is a bit weird for a hosting company, but ok. Maybe someone that actually took advantage of their offer will chime in.

                                      I see your script on this list.

                                      edit: but this is just a iframe to orginal demo.

                                          Yes but when you click on "buy now" in their topbar, you are redirected to a cart page and you can purchase our product, on their site...

                                                  and this is not a surprise.

                                                  They have been discussed here before.

If vicetemplate had anything to do with adent.io, adent.io wouldn't be pushing m3server as affiliate - https://adent.io/software-services-f...t-web-hosting/ - they would push vicetemple.
