Interesting.

I found this bbs and thread because I received a notice from brothersoft that "my software" - a program that I never heard of - has just been uploaded.

WTF?

Weirder still, the web page for the software at brothersoft points to mydomain.net. I don't own mydomain.net, but I do own mydomain.com. My guess is that the uploader mistakenly entered "user @ mydomain.com" in the email address so I got the message instead of him/her. SNAFU.

So after reading this thread, I was reminded that there is software that will distribute a software package to 100's of download sites in a few minutes. This is moderately useful for shareware authors, as well a to less ethical individuals.

Bottom line. Have you googled to find out if your software is on any more download sites?
