Each and every paid web script, specifically like vBulletin has tons of encrypted codes which contains back links to their monitoring service. Hence as soon as you take your pirated software (vBulletin) online, these codes make sure that developer of the software knows about it. vBulletin comes hard at these installations, if all means fails, they get in touch with your domain provider or your hosting provider to shut you down. So piracy is really not an option.. Thanks.

Pirates :

Torrents FTW.. [:P]

Though they rectified it after several complaints, but still we have to shell a lot to move to 4.0. I am putting off my upgrade for atleast 6months - 1 year. And vbulletin is asking us to pay just for viewing screenshots? No live demo in sight.
