A European site known as Playwalkthrough.com is posting walkthroughs without the permission of the w/t owners, including some from Just Adventure.  While we almost always grant permission for other sites to use or products, we do like to be asked first.  What is really bothersome though is that they are asking for donations from their readers for what is basically stolen intellectual property.

First, please don't frequent this site and ask your friends to also not frequent it.  We really need to put a stop to this type of internet theft.  This site is not the only one to steal and post w/ts.

Second, if you are wondering why I 've not contacted the site owners, it is because we have not been able to find a contact phone number or email address.  If you are aware of a contact for this site, please contact me at randyja@justadventure.com

Thanks for posting that Randy!!    

I have only written 5 walkthroughs in my life and 4 of them are on that site.   I had asked Ugur Sener to look into it and I talked to Len Green about it too since I saw quite a lot of his on there.

It would have been nice to be asked, and I likely would not have cared had I not seen that whole donation part of it.  

I was unable to locate anything on them.   I even tried to go through the beginning of the purchase process just to see if any more information was given.. ....nada

Speaking of Len Green --- has anyone heard from him.   I was just concerned since he lives in Haifa, Isreal and I know that Haifa got hit with some of the missile attacks.   Just wanted to know he's ok.

BTW, Gameboomers posted about the same website, and someone dredged up their info. I PM'ed Randy with it.

Though judging by the telephone numbers it appears those are probally false (cause of the order they are in).

The email might work, and at best if you can't reach them by either way you can try to get to them through their register (Host.bg).

I sent WHOIS info on playwalkthrough.com to Randy a couple of days ago.
