Filing a DMCA requires using one's real identity, not an option open to me.
However, I had an idea: Is it possible to make a file "know" where it was downloaded from/perform some action in a file on download?
You could possibly check the browser download log. We could send 9minecraft some *interesting* files though...
And I got 20+ likes for calling them stupid. :P
I know. I've tracked down 90% of the posts from your forum thread. :P
 
Why not just use Java? Go with the game's native language...I'm assuming that's why most Minecraft utilities are written in Java. Except MultiMC. That's made in wonderful, tasty C++.

Though, if we're going with joke suggestions, I suggest we use C++. That will scare enough cowards away that only REAL MEN (TM) will be making said GUIs.
I was talking about how we could be laughing at javascript and all that jazz. Not about the GUIs :P

Probably...I mean their must be information that got stored, but it would be on the home computer and probably very hard to find/decode
 
Saving the downloads.

We might be talking about different things. What I mean is: if a mod just for "protection" purposes (DRM much?) or the like reads my browser history, or really anything outside of /minecraft/, no code from that developer will ever run on my systems again.

As I said, I won't implement it. By the way, I support DRM to some degree (prevent illegal redistribution), even in mods. I don't support working outside the Minecraft folder though (that's why I won't implement it).

Now, that's a fascinating idea. It'd probably throw up red flags for every anti-virus made, though, since to do the latter, you'd basically need to emulate the behaviour of auto-executing malware. It probably requires writing the code in such a way that it fools the target OS into thinking its something that needs to be executed right now. How you'd do that, though, is far beyond my talents.
 
I made a list of those websites.

Far beyond mine too :(.

Perhaps I can make the file edit done serverside (if Google sites allows me to encode such a thing into a link)?

I was hoping to go for the former, but I doubt that sort of data gets encoded anywhere. Another idea is a file hash, but that does not solve the problem if they ship the original file unmodified (even though they do often add spyware and other malware).
