Now you have honest webmasters getting the script and using it not knowing about this entire incident. (Not everyone reads GFY). I am not taking sides either way because I do not know how the law perceives the modification of the script. However Choker may want to go after the source of this script before it spreads even further. Blacklisting every single TGP that uses it is just going to make the situation worst.

What everyone here refuses to see is that Icefire has done nothing illegal. That's why Choker doesn't go after him. He can take any script he wants and rewrite the code and it's a new script. The only recourse he has at this point is to blacklist the sites in his FindTrades database. That's his business.
To say that you looked at the code and can see that they're the same...I doubt you've even really looked. Just take a look at the two respective out or in files and you'll see. I think at one point a CJO file was about 1000+ lines where the one in TTT was 1/4 of the size.
If Choker really believes that he's been illegally infringed upon, he should probably protect his business/product and actually take the time to look into the matter. I'm sure Icefire has no problem with this, because he's taken the steps to ensure that he's legit in the eyes of the law. He doesn't care about the eyes of GFY.
Choker, I'd be more than happy to help you out with what I know...but like I mentioned, you're so caught up in this that you haven't even come to me to get any of your facts straight. You've listed bits of info about me that are COMPLETELY off track. You just shout off at the mouth without checking to see if you're even right or not. I don't hide...my email and ICQ address has always been available.
