How to report a listing to eBay

The following steps are for reporting a listing to eBay. Only the intellectual property rights owner can report of potentially infringing items or listings through eBay's VeRO Program. If you are not the intellectual property rights owner, you can still help by getting in touch with the rights owner and encouraging them to contact us. For a list of rights owners who participate in our VeRO program, view the list of About Me Pages.

Step One:

If you have a good faith belief that a listing on eBay infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, all you need to do is download our Notice of Claimed Infringement (NOCI) form, fill it out, and fax it to eBay. Download eBay's NOCI form

Note: You will need Adobe® Acrobat Reader to view and print our NOCI form. You can download a free copy at Adobe's Web site.

of course ut s a bootleg at that price, but i garantee it does not crash as its an official unlock code. I have been using this version live over 5 hour gigs over 50 times. wait til you see all the skins and effects and samples that are extra.

That is not true, please re-read the terms and conditions you agree to when you install VDJ. No one can sell or distrubte Virtual DJ without written permission of Atomix Productions.

OK, My Bad!!

I did not know, I was thinking people are honest as myself, and based on that, if I purchased VDJ, never registered it and then try to sell it.

But as you pointed out, he does say in the text that it's a "crack" for all intended purposes. Yeah, if I were VDJ I would go after that person.

@ Piracy staff

This is why we should be required to register each copy that we use and have a limit on how many computers VDJ can simultaneously be installed on. Morales in today’s society aren’t close to what they use to be.

@ DJBIGMARK

If what you’ve posted is true, “THESE ARE NOT LEGITIMATE COPIES READ THIS EMAIL MESSAGE!!!” Ebay could be liable for knowingly aiding and abetting the selling of illegal software. If Atomix Productions doesn’t do anything about this, VDJ might as well be given away for free. Furthermore, who is going to stop someone from distributing crack, the “Software Sheriffs”? Consequently, VDJ 4 needs some serious security features.

@Double O

A crack is designed to work around copy protection. We are already required to register all instances of Virtual DJ (serial number) but the crack makes Virtual DJ load regardless of there being a serial number or not. Similarly some sort of forced activation would just get cracked too, it happened to Microsoft, it happened to Adobe, it happened to Macromedia, it happened to Symantec, you get the picture. I don't think many DJ's would be too happy about having to be forced into activating their DJ software either, many people are already skeptical of PC DJing software. At least for the moment there are no key generators floating around for Virtual DJ. According to the EULA (legally it probably doesn't matter what people say on these forums) we cannot install Virtual DJ on more than one PC even if we're the sole owners and users of those machines.

The internet is pretty much a free unregulated place and piracy hurts (does it?) all companies, even Traktor and PCDJ. Atomix can't combat the illegal distribution of Virtual DJ 100% although I understand what you're saying.

Another reason for propiatary hardware (SSL, FS2). Software is useless without the hardware. The reason why SSL doesn't have piracy problems. In fact, their software is actually free for anyone to download.

@ Andrew87

Although I know there is no full proof security system, VDJ HAS NO SECURITY MEASURES. Do you realize that I could give every DJ that I know with a computer my copy of VDJ because there isn’t anything stopping me but my conscious. Unfortunately, there are too many people in the world that don’t care about what’s morally right. Consequently, many software companies implement registration requirements in order to "minimize" the illegal sharing of their products. I have used several other software products (including PCDJ) that required registering each installation and limited the amount of installations. This was never a problem.

Furthermore, I don’t expect Piracy staff to “crack down” on everybody that is illegally using VDJ. However, when you have someone illegally selling VDJ on Ebay (for only $1.77), that warrants some type of investigation.

@ 313ctro

Good point. That's why Numark has hardware to go along with Virtual Vinyl, which is a "protected" version of VDJ.

maybe we should use some type of usb dongle or an online activation on only a certain amout of computers per license ..like windows xp ..even though it has been defeated, they pretty much prevented further updates without more cracks and it at least took some time to crack.. i would hate to see local dj's compete with my area with a cracked version of VDJ or a version that they hardly paid anything for.. i use my copy of vdj on 3 of my pc's 1. my primary gig pc 2. my backup laptop .. and 3. my home pc to make sure updates work before going on the other two computers (aka VDJ 3.3) so i guess 3 would be a nice online activation number unless other Dj's need more. But VDJ should be protected better.

A hardware solution doesn't ensure no piracy, just look at Steinberg's Cubase. Virtual DJ faces no more piracy than Native Instruments do and RANE are only safe from their hardware solution because SSL cators to too much of a niche for any of the big groups to attempt cracking it. For a start they'd be out of pocket £400 just buying it and I'm not sure how many hacker enthusiast DJs there are out there. Would you really want a hardware solution for Virtual DJ? I wouldn't want to pay shipping on top of VAT. Activation is no problem for crackers to bypass, as I said before, MS Windows, MS Office, Macromedia Studio MX, Adobe Photoshop just about every software you can name. Even antivirus scanners from huge corporations like Symantec, not only do hackers bypass the activation but the software is capable of updates too.

The person who bid $1.77 on Virtual DJ is probably not someone that would buy the software anyway, Atomix aren't losing money from it because it isn't a lost sale. The seller obviously isn't going to last long anyway, with their 0 feedback it wouldn't be suprising if the highest bidder is in fact themselves.

I personally wouldn't like to see forced activation for Virtual DJ, activation is the one thing which really annoys me with all software that have it.

i support forced activation. and hardware which at least activates the software.
eg my posts in this thread http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/48620/General_Discussion/Will_Hardware__Units_kill_Software_Solutions_.html?page=1 and others.

even if its just a little USB device that does it.


I mean sometimes if ppl are looting why pay for something. even tho im soon gonna be buying this software it almost feels like throwing money coz its not difficult to get copy. this company doesnt even throw fake copies out there to throw ppl off.
if there's a copy out there that fukks up ppls computers that will greatly minimize illegally using the software. VDJ company should release 20 or 30 dummy copies out there for version 4. each of them having their own problems.
i dont even like the fact that v4 is a free update. i feel v3 shouldv come with a price.


2. Stop Snitching.

3. hopefully vista will greatly minimize or stop all this.

It's also not difficult to get a corporate version of windows xp which is windows genuine compatible (windowsupdate) and a corporate level firewall along with any other software you need. It's even easier to get Cubase with a dongle crack. I don't see why anyone would want forced activation. You pay $149 for Virtual DJ, whack on 17.5% VAT (UK residents) and then probably another $60 to ship the dongle and cover manufacturing costs which you'll probably end up leaving behind when you go to play a gig anyway.

If Atomix made versions which did mess up peoples computers it wouldn't look very good for their image, the name Virtual DJ already sounds like a kids toy (I love the program but the name really doesn't sound very top level as truthful as the name is). What you propose would be malicious software released with the intent to cause damage, a virus - come on, professional companies can't afford to get caught doing that.

I also don't understand why you dislike that v4 will come as a free update. Not everyone is going to upgrade to Vista (which the most recent beta also has already activation hacks) and I don't see how it will greatly minimize or stop all this, unless you support big brother in your house.

i don't agree about using a usb dongle for security. my laptop has few precious ports. i don't one wasted on a silly little dongle. i really appreciate the way ssl does it. the hardware box is the security. i think this works out perfectly. it also allows the software to be free. This is important. This means every club in the world can legally download a copy of SSL and preinstall it in clubs. Also means that I can install it on every computer I own without any problems. This kind of setup also works *really* well when you have a whole bunch of DJs who need to play one right after the other. I've had gigs with at least 4 DJs going back to back. We'd never worked together or known eachother but the show flowed seamlessly because of that little box,.. mac or pc,.. didn't matter. Plug and go, show keeps on rolling. I'd like to see 4 DJs try that live with their maya 44s.

Hey, I know we're all tired of VDJ and SSL comparisons, and trust me, no one is more tired of this than I am but I think this topic is notable in that I think SSL got it right on this point.

I wonder if the Numark product will be tied to their soundcard in a similar way.

at the end of the day i dont think anyone give a monkies what you think about how much all of us should pay for the software. your gonna come here with your cracked version and tell me i should pay more money for something?

and USB dongles dont protect jack, logic, roland design, edirol. all USB dongle. all cracked and public. All they provide is a good way of fucking decent customers up when they loose the stupid little key and have to traul through the process of getting (and paying) for a new one. (or go the easy way and get the crack)

piracy is a fact and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. I would rather attomix didnt mess with VDJ 4 trying to make it protected because invariabley it will lead to more code, slower settup, activation, loading and also more instability.

did i say i dont use cracked stuf? i have said enough times that i do!

can you not understand how it may annoy someone that a person who stole a product then goes to the website and tels everyone else they should pay more for it? how stupid are you?

I may have a picture of a desktop with a Doom3 crack on but i dont run to the ID website and tell everyone that the price of Doom4 should be higher. (oh and also expect no one there to call my standing to according concideration)
