So I used the Userbar Hue plugin shared by Aoki here. I, like many others, have received an email regarding this by ModMyBB. and I am starting to believe that they can't do anything, since I have not received any emails after this one was placed.

I just realized I got this email right now. This was sent over 20 days ago...


So I guess no action will be placed?

I edited the title source, so if anything I will say I got the plugin by *insert random name here*

Lmao well what are they going to do?

Get your domain taken down?

Get a new one jesus

They can't really do anything as long as they don't have your real information

It's a little plugin. What do you think is going to do? Paying a lawyer for simple things like that? Come on, don't be a pussy.
This guy won't do shit. He doesn't even have your information, nor mine.

Worst case scenario is your host asks you to remove the content due to a DMCA claim.

Whether or not they suspend you is at the hosts discretion.

They're not going to do shit. It'd cost them more to sue you then the plugin is worth

Pretty sure he sent the same email to Harry too and nothing has happened. Just carry on using them.

Don't worry about it. It would cost them more to take you to court then they make from selling the product.
