[OT] Software Piracy

Hi all,

One of my applications that I develop, iPodRip, has been copied by another developer and this person is distributing it.

The copying is complete, from the Info.plist, to the executable code (its iPodRip's executable byte for byte) to the nibs. The only things that were changed were the icons, the name and the about box. It looks like its just the old iPodRip bundle with the icons changed.

Here is the website:

Here is the actual application:

http://macupdate.com/download.php/14576/menthapodsoftware.dmg.zip

Sadly the contact information given is incorrect and I can't contact the 'developer'.

I was wondering, is there any ideas you guys could give me as to how to stop this person distributing the app? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. This is definitely a first for me and I have heard of no other application being copied in this way.

Thanks in advance,

Mat

p.s. I have posted to both cocoa-dev and macosx-dev in case you get a duplicate as I read both
