Just put htaccess file to passwd the access on publicly vbseo available files, and remove copyrights, then they should first proove you're using vbseo wich is not simple cos rewriting urls is not copyrighted, so no you cannot have problems with them ;)

hey thanks a lot guys
"Just put htaccess file to passwd the access on publicly vbseo available files"

for example

Code:
<Files vbseocp.php>
AuthUserFile /home/login/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
require user vbseo
</Files>

That way if someone request vbseocp.php he'll be prompted for a password and won't see the seo login page and you can protect the public accessible files that way without loosing the CP access cos you know the passwd.

If you need a good .htaccess tut , look here.

Technically if they KNOW the folder exists, even if you password protect it.. they will know. You can always deny it and say it's an empty folder, but then they will ask your host to CHECK the folder and you'll get screwed...

But it's still better than having it open there.

actually if you have a nulled vbulletin but have a real license..(yes it is possible) nothing can happen unless they have proof that you didnt buy it. and if they take it down you can show them your license then you have your site back. This has happened to me numerous times.. you are fine.
