The other author who has way more sales and plugins than you contacted you a few months ago about the same issue, and showed me your code compared to theirs (btw theirs was created years ago). How else do you explain that my premium plugin is receiving an update notification coming from YOUR plugin (and it’s happening on everyone else’s that purchased from Code Canyon). Don’t worry, they already notified Envato about what’s been done. He’s the one that should be contacting the laywer ??
“I’m really sorry for the inconvenience, but this happens because some guy plagiarized our plugin. Back in November 2013 we submitted a DMCA and he removed the plugin from www.remarpro.com. Now he has apparently submitted it again and just changed the author and renamed the variables. And added his own copyright message. The syntax and file structure is exactly the same.
This image shows his file to the left and our original to the right. https://cloud.righthere.com/image/1M3O382A1n2F
As you can see they are pretty much identical besides the small changes i mentioned.
The person is also an author here on Codecanyon and we have once again asked him to remove the file. The reason why our plugin is showing up with an update notification is because he uses the exact same folder name and our original plugin and as we use the WordPress API to provide updates WordPress goes to www.remarpro.com for the update.
We will release an update to our plugin making some changes to that this doesn’t happen. Meanwhile do NOT update the plugin as you will just get the plagiarized version.”
