this also happened to me & i wasnt to happy with how it was handled.
long story short....
had a new host talking into going with coldfusion as there language as
they dove into that kinda market.
they bought a "new" copy off of ebay.
One day MM called him and told him to take it all down immiediately or buy
it then from them and I guess in a VERY snautty way. Didnt even give us
time to find new homes for the sites which completely f*cked me.
But the way that they handled it all left the host extremely giving MM the
1 finger salute. And then MM called back all nice to try and sell it to
him. Now they would have bought it then from them if it had been handled
differently but needless to say we just lost a few more developers to php
& .net.
Now I understand MM's point but they should also understand some of ours.
If nothing else they should put notices up on their site warning ppl of
the fraud copies.
On the other hand ppl are spending their hard earned money to try and
stick with MM products instead of going to the open source world & so they
try and get it as cheap as possible but this happens and they get screwed
and end up at php of course.
do i have a solution? no
and i still love MM to death but they need to handle things better then
this. maybe have some type of program to help the ppl who got screwed.
Maybe even a payment plan for those who just got screwed but need a little
help getting it back, not just a fu and buy or product or else.
how many copies of say coldfusion do they give away a month to ppl at user
groups? most of these ppl will never even need it for more than a
developer and MM can do that so why not help the ppl who really need it
out?
anyways, christian and fellow MM'rs other than that you guys have a GREAT
company and I for 1 appriciate all u guys do for us. But the chain is only
as strong as the weakest link & that link is pretty weak.
