I sold him a license to use and modify the software. Not ownership of code.
It was a complete sale and transfer of the domain and everything related to Passphrase.io. There was no discussion of licensing.
You guys are not quite on the same page I think. That's for sure. US copyright law states that transfer of copyright ownership is not valid unless explicitly stated in a written and signed contract. This never took place, and I neither discussed nor had any intentions of handing over copyright ownership. I sold a license to use a copy of the software, plus the domain and user base that came along with the domain. Dev still owns the license to use and modify the code, and he is free to use it on another domain. In fact, I will now give him my permission to sell and distribute the version of code that he has (which is different from what is running on my server since I went through and completely changed the back end). However, that doesn't mean that I have to give up my right to sell my own copyrighted intellectual property. The bigger issue, in my opinion, is that he tried to sell a domain that he doesn't own. He claims he didn't know that it expired, so as far as I'm concerned, this case is closed and I will remove myself from the conversation. You retroactively converted the sale into a lease, I thought I was dealing in ethical business like a reasonable person, not signing up for a contest in copyright wankery. |

I think dev should reply here and let us know what all this is going on.
I think there is some misunderstanding between dev and original owner of site.
devthedev has replied here already... devthedev still owns the source code of the website, but unchi purchased the passphrase.io domain after it expired. devthedev originally owned the domain, but let it expire and didn't bother renewing it. Exactly. Unchi may now own the domain but he doesn't have rights to sell the source. What was the original sales agreement between you two? It was a complete sale and transfer of the domain and everything related to Passphrase.io. There was no discussion of licensing. |

I'm not sure what's going on with escrows lately , It doesn't even make sense because sometimes the scammed amounts are nothing compared to what they was holding as escrows . (Master-p , Devthedev ... )
Which makes me think that those escrows scamming lately are either getting hacked (like really hacked (accounts, keybase(PGP) and all) or ... they are simply the same person who was planning to do this from the beginning (who knows right ? )
in devthedev case it was just a mistake not any scam, he bumped his old sale topic without know domain was already expired. about escrow yes I do still trust few of them The domain didn't renew automatically and was quickly snagged by the person who sold it to me upon expiration, I still am the owner of the source code. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1382087.msg14061062#msg14061062 |

I can only speculate, however it is possible that uchi saw that the domain was about to expire and saved the script and/or uchi used an archive of the website.
Ok so here's the story.
I originally created passphrase.io.
I sold the domain and license to use my script to devthedev.
A few weeks before the domain expired, I warned dev on two separate occasions that he needed to renew. Once via email and once via PM. I even offered to buy it back from him, but he ignored.
He allowed the domain to expire, and I bought it back.
Also, I think devthdev mentioned somewhere that he did buy the domain+hosting from someone else Well there you go. Devthedev probably didn't even realize that the domain was (about to) expire. This is what happened. I was sold the script/domain last July and recently just didn't have time to continue development, so I listed the script for sale and just realized the domain didn't renew. Looks like unchi, the user who sold it to me snagged the domain as soon as it expired and rehosted the script in an attempt to sell it again. Extremely shady. |
