We don’t usually publicize copyright infringements of our products — we prefer to deal with these issues privately — but unfortunately due to the risk that innocent customers might purchase pirated software, we’ve decided to alert the general public.

EzPDFlibrary is a pirated version of Quick PDF Library. I won’t link to their website, but it’s not hard to find. They have stolen the source code, documentation and samples and re-branded it as their own. They are now selling this software to unsuspecting customers. This is of course completely illegal, infringes our copyright for Quick PDF Library and of course defrauds innocent people of hard earned money.

We’re taking the appropriate action against this company (contacting their payment processor, web host and more) but you could be of great assistance to us if you alert anyone you see mentioning the name EzPDFlibrary to the fact that this is pirated software and should not be used. Instead, they should look at Quick PDF Library (obviously!).

It might be “Ez” to pirate software, but it certainly was not easy to build such a powerful library as Quick PDF Library over the past 10 years, so we’d appreciate any help you can provide in alerting your fellow developers to avoid these fraudsters and bring them down.

Thank you.
