| Like it says in the topic summary, i have found a Korean site that has copied a large portion of the STEX. Some of the lots there credit the original creator and some dont. I found 3 of my uploads there. I dont think there is much we can do about it but here is a LINK Edit : un1 told me the site is Korean and not Japaneese. |

| Someone could contact that website about it, and I'm sure if the admins/mods here are able to figure out who did that they'd be banned. |

| There isn't that much on there, only 15 pages of it, and it doesn't seem to be the best of uploads on the STEX, there is some low quality stuff from the STEX also (Not to offend anyone...).. (Not to forget, the BAT, LE and GMAX are uploaded on there) |

| They didn't give credit, they stole everything about the upload, including the description! I don't think plagiarizing everything about 300 uploads can be used within the term "only". The last "upload" was on October 10th, so it is still relatively active.
By the way, its Korean. Whenever I try to use a translator, it has to stop due to redirect attempts, so I can't even attempt to see whats going on. |

| Hmm... What could be done? Google Translator keeps giving me this error when i try to translate it:
"The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." |

| If they'd host plagiarized files (assuming they knew they were) it wouldn't surprise me if they'd also have viruses, etc. eta and seeing how some of the files have been there over a month, if they didn't know something's wrong with their moderators. |

| maybe they're offering the files to Korean speakers and don't really care. The intention wasn't malicious I'm sure of it. |

| Banning whoever was the "leak" would prevent this from continuing (if it can be determined who it is), although it would do nothing in the way of getting the existing content removed. I don't really think it's worth getting upset over, especially considering that they seem to be at least attempting to credit the original creators. Hey, if nothing else, people downloading the files from there rather than here saves ST bandwidth.  |
