Someone Tried to Rip Me Off!

I produce a DJ program called Sound Sequencer. I have not done much work on it for a few years and would like to get back into it sometime, but frankly in these times you have to stick with stuff that makes you a living, and thats the computer support work. The program is still a good program and still out there in use and is for sale via my website, however I received an e-mail from a colleage informing me that my program amungst others that were being offered at a lower price on a website called tangoradio.co.uk

I looked at this website and indeed they were selling my program. I tried the phone number on the website but it was disconnected and had no reply to an e-mail I sent. The cheeky thing was that they had my demo to download so someone could have tried the demo, liked it and bought it from these people, then they would have come to me for support. The other scenerio I thought of was that they had cracked the registration code algorithm, which frankly isnt rocket science but deters most hackers.

I checked the site every day since but now its gone so at least someone was able to talk to the owners and get them to see the error of their ways.
