Well, if my paid app shows up there, I'll be contacting their ISP,
domain registrar, and local authorities. I encourage anyone similarly
being ripped off to do the same.
I'm only doing it if my app shows up there, because then I'll have the
evidence and the legal standing for a complaint.
They appear to be located in Florida, so this should fall under the
DCMA, which is a lousy law, but at least should work OK; this sort of
thing has always been illegal.
If someone's feeling adventurous, they can email and/or call and see
what they have to say for themselves. It's still possible we're
jumping to conclusions.
