StopScum

Their will be others who will follow, but stopping all of these unscrupulous players will send a strong message to the other defacers and hijackers that we won't tolerate these actions. We must fight in a moral, ethical, and legal manner. Read our daily news and stay informed.

Our first targets are KaZaA, eZula, Gator, and any company and or individual which profits from this relationship with respect to their TopText technology and all similar technologies. These TheftWare products deface and alter the content of Websites (including Merchants) for financial gain. These procedures do not obtain the prior written consent of the Website owner, do not notify the Website owner of these actions, and do not share any of their revenue with the site owners. In some cases, they alter the contents of a PG site with Adult and or Gambling links which the owner of the site would never permit. We find all of these actions morally reprehensible.
