It is a copy right law, and it is the law, if we get enough support, he may go to jail, but most likely he will get a fine which will put him out of business, if the courts don't order him to terminate FSPlanet for good. Also most likely it may take the Spanish goverment a bit to do some research on the topic, to contact Ferdy etc. I wonder what Ferdy will do when he gets a call from the Spanish goverment hehe, I would go nuts.

I found the e-mail address for the Spanish embassy using webferret.

buzon.oficial@londres.ofcomes.mcx.es

...if you want to write to them yourselves.

Gurus - I e-mailed several people at madalori - no reply as of yet.

I'll contact the Italian embassy too.


This might all look well over the top to some people but I'm sick of sites like this. I've given Mr Serena fair warning and he's just ignored me. Well if I write to enough people at a sufficiently high level, someone's going to do something about him.

So far, he's lost one advertiser.  What else he loses is down to the people I'm writing to. Time will tell.

This was my last e-mail to him:

Dear Mr Serena,

I see you've updated your site since my last e-mail, and ignored it, just as you ignored the licence for my file.

Well....fasten your safety belt, you're in for a rough ride.

For your information, I have so far e-mailed:

Your server hosts

Your I.S.P.

Every company/website that currently advertises on your site.

Your Forum provider

Veri-sign

Recommend-it

Even your hit counter provider.

Anyone who is in any way connected with your site has received a detailed e-mail about your illegal distribution of files.

I've already received one reply from one of your advertisers. They've closed your account. I'll forward it on to you when I've finished writing this e-mail.

Oh and I nearly forgot......I e-mailed the Spanish Embassy in London. Let's hope the Guardia Seville don't wake you up too early in the morning eh?

I'm not a member at avsim, partly because I don;t agree with their registration requirements but that's by the by.

If anyone who is, wants to post the url to this thread there, please do so.

Long story and it's off the point really.

I just e-mailed the Italian embassy btw, and also the Director General (a title he's given himself) of mandalori.com to let him know.

Hey Guruz, can your really put someone in jail for stealing your aircraft files even though they may live half way around the world?


Yes, under Australian Law cpyright breach is a criminal offence. What applies to movies etc also applies to freeware. What i said applies to EACH instance (i.e per file). Thus if he steals 3 files, that is 3 counts of software theft and each count is up for 2yrs Gaol &/or $50,000 fine.
Personally i reckon the directors of www.madalori.com should be really worried by the amount of (in all likely) stolen software that they place on their servers - FS2002Tipster, i would remind them of that too - I would also make sure you have both delivery and reciept certyificates for each email you send to them to make sure they are reading them. I hope you do complain to the Italian Goverment via their emabassy about the activities of Madalori.com, i would even go one further and try channels via the European Union & see what happens.

Well, I think I've probably sent enough e-mails for one night. (23).

I'll see what happens in the way of responses before I take it any further. My member of parliament isn't awake yet... ;D

Don't all politicians sleep whilst they are in the Chamber?? I know some of ours do, my tip is that if you cannot sleep late at night the best thing to do is switch on Question time when parliament is sitting - better than a sleeping tablet!

LOL - no different here.

I was feeling sorry for Ferdy after all this grief I've given him so I did him a new logo...

Think he'll like it?  ;D

Hope that this help you.
