“Jelsoft” selected domain from pirates

The struggle of the company “Jelsoft”, the developer of the well-known forum engine “Vbulletin”, with the resource that “pirated” its products for the third year, continues throughout its existence. Than just did not try to "poison" the poor pirates. But apparently their last landing of lawyers was a success, the old domain vbulletin.net.ru was taken from its owner and given to the company “Jelsoft”. This can be seen by writing this address in the line of your browser; now it refers to the official site of the system.

Apparently, the company “Jelsoft” filed a lawsuit on infringement of copyright and related rights and the use of the trademark in the domain name, by a person who does not own the copyright of this trademark, simply “offensive” to himself. Only now laughter is similar, select a free domain in the zone of the 3rd level.

But, these are only guesses from the collected information in the network. Now the project lives quietly on another domain, registered users have long received letters with the new address of the forum. Perhaps the domain was simply purchased in order to attract visitors, but it seems like a lot of nonsense to buy a domain from pirates in order to attract visitors to the licensed product of this system.
