Title: download.cnet.com is hosting an ancient version of my app and I never submitted it to them or contacted them in any way. They simply stole my installer and content from my website without asking or getting permission. I won&#x27;t get into my reasons for not wanting any of these download sites to offer my software. They are of course entitled to provide a link to my website and some do that and only that which is OK.<p>there is a link in in old HN post (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=2910554" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=2910554</a>) that no longer works:
