I can't report his content as inappropriate.

Could someone from Cakewalk shut this fool down.

I hate this crap. Talented programmers work their arses off and slime thinks it's theirs to "share around".

Here's a link to the offending youtube material: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gTQZUzJe4Y&noredirect=1

I was able to flag it, don't know if that will provoke any action.

What gets me is that you look at one of these, then down the right side, urtube has a list of a bunch of other videos that link to cracked copies of the same or similar software. 1001 ways to turn your computer into a zombie!

Then what REALLY gets me is that I tried reporting a couple of these and after the 2nd one, ewetube starts putting me through the captcha (or whatever it's called, type in the goofy word to prove I'm not a dog-on-the-internet) routine. Hello folks, don't you have a database over there? I've been a user of the system for many years, why are you making fun of my aging vision and making me jump through these hoops when I'm trying to be helpful?

Anyway, more than enough time wasted on that windmill........

PS Thanks for pointing the scammer out anyway, pokeyoats.

Always happy to point out a thief, and thanks for helping out!!

I tried to flag as inappropriate, breach of copyright and it said I had to be the copyright owner, I felt like I couldn't do anything.

If anyone else could flag these guys it would be awesome.

I really hate piracy. As a kid it's the reason I sometimes missed out (my father is a programmer) and it is just downright stealing.

You can try e-mailing YouTube at  cacopyright@youtube.com and provide the URL to the video and the user's channel. The auto-response I got back is below.

The other thing you can do is to flag the video as inappropriate under the Spams: scams/fraud category. That's what I did as backup. There's also Spam: mass advertising, which I also flagged.

The flagging is anonymous unlike the commenting.
