:: Types of PHP Software Piracy
PHP Software piracy is the illegal distribution and/or reproduction
of PHP software. Purchasing PHP software means that you are actually
purchasing a license to use the PHP software and that
license spells out how you may lawfully use that PHP software.
Any use of the PHP software beyond the scope of the license,
would be a violation of the license and possibly, copyright law.
Whether PHP software piracy is deliberate or not, it is still
illegal and punishable by law. |

:: About Fake PHP Software, hidden Spyware PHP Codes & Trojan horse's
If a php pirazy software is obtained from other forms of download
or free access other than from the original domain or webspace,
the consequence can be horrible. The unoriginal source code is
unknown, and has hidden php/htm/asp source codes, included Trojan Horse's, for destructive
and purpose-built use, like with some simple php or HTML code's today,
a Trojan horse, will attempts to modify all files on the compromised computer,
and downloads a copy of f.x Infostealer. It also exploits the Microsoft
DirectAnimation Path ActiveX Control Could Allow Remote Code Execution vulnerability
(as described in the Microsoft Security Advisory 925444).
It can crash a web server, or delete root users, gather e-mails, for use in
*SPAM*, get sensitive information, like server ROOT user, CPANEL
user & passwords, and many other terrifying functions can
be used, and added against only one person, the subject that
uses the fake php software from a unknown source.
PHP Software Piracy comes
in many forms. Those types that impact 24CamPortal.com include:
1. Corporate or end-user: Under-reporting
the installations of PHP software acquired through volume purchase
agreements,
Making additional copies of the PHP software without having the
proper number of licenses. For instance, 1 licensed copy is available,
yet five additional copies are made from it; and
Server: Installing the PHP software on a server with access to
that server having unrestricted staff access to it (no lock-out
mechanisms, counter etc.).
2. Subscription Licensing: Using subscription licensed PHP software
past the expiration date.
3. PrimeSupport Entitlement:
Accessing PrimeSupport entitlement (e.g. DATs, SuperDATs, updates
or Upgrades without a current and valid PrimeSupport agreement.
4. Internet PHP Piracy can
occur in many different facets. These forms include:
Providing access to PHP software,
and the like that permit installation of the PHP software through
downloads, burned CDs, or in the original packaging
The provider is offering a copy; back-up copies may not be distributed.
The product offered was previously distributed in violation of
an authorized distributor, reseller, OEM, Academic or other contract.
The product being offered had previously been used to obtain
an upgrade to a newer version.
The product is an unreleased or beta version.
The provider offering certain 24Camportal product is not an authorized
reseller or otherwise licensed to reproduce or distribute 24Camportal
PHP software. 24CamPortal regularly monitors the Internet, including
auction and P2P sites, in order to combat any infringement of
our rights.
Linking to or distributing tools that subvert or undermine the
copy protections or time-out functions of PHP software.
5. Counterfeiting where one attempts to copy the PHP product
and packaging so that it looks like a 24CamPortal original PHP
Script.
6. Hard-Disk loading where
some unscrupulous suppliers illegally install PHP software to
help sell server space. While many suppliers are authorized to
install products onto the servers that they sell, in doing so,
honest vendors supply the PHP software via agreements with software
vendors.
:: First Steps to Effective
PHP Software Asset Management
An important component to an overall effective PHP software asset
management program is knowing what you have installed. Regular
audits can go a long way to telling you what is installed. Even
though you may have policies in place prohibiting your employees
from making unauthorized copies, these policies do not stop employees
from making copies of software.
Running those tools, and then comparing that information to your
license documentation, is a great first step in determining whether
or not you are in compliance. If you find that you are compliant,
congratulations youve stepped up to the challenge
and have done the right thing. If you find you are not in compliance,
now would be the time to acquire the licenses necessary to get
you back in compliance and review your existing software policy.
24CamPortal has a program in
place to get its users into compliance. The one caveat to this
program is that the user must have contacted 24CamPortal before
24CamPortal knew of the alleged PHP piracy at the company. This
program is designed to work cooperatively with the company instead
of pursuing legal channels.
:: Where can I buy authorized
software?
This is the easy part. Part of knowing that you have authorized
PHP software is knowing where you purchase it from. You can go
to our web site www.24camportal.com.
:: Legal Ramifications &
Penalties

prosecution, with fines up to US$250,000 and prison terms of
up to five years. In civil cases, 24CamPortal can obtain the
higher of its lost profits plus the infringer's profits, or statutory
damages of up to US$150,000 per product. In addition, 24CamPortal

fines for having illegal software. Don't be one of them.

with police organization such as the Interpol, is the worlds
largest international police organization, with 184 member countries.
