There are certain regions in the world, China, Vietnam, Turkey, Thailand, and Nigera from which there have been no end of copyright and license issues as well as fraudulent transactions which end up costing allot of money in chargeback fees from the credit card companies.

Also these countries are hotspots for hackers, people illegal distributing web wiz forums (often claiming it as their own) and illegally removing the ads.

This has lead to a policy whereby if you wish to download Web Wiz Forums from one of these countries you must use the contact us page to be sent the zip file by email once we are happy that you will legitimately use Web Wiz Forums.

Having people from some countries not purchase a license is not a problem, as quite happy with people using Web Wiz Forums for free.

The problem is the number of people removing the ads without a license, hackers, and software pirates who often remove the copyright and claim the software as their own.

It's starting to become a weekly occurrence dealing with software pirates and hackers from these countries which uses up valuable development time and sadly ruins it for all those legitimate people from those countries.
