Google Adsense Abuse by Quickpwn.com against Dev-Team YellowSnow QuickPwn Jailbreak
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ is the real website for Quickpwn and Yellowsn0w. A cybersquatter came in and registered the domain http://quickpwn.com and the plastered the entire site with Google Adsense. He also registered the Twitter name: Quickpwn. He does not work with the development team at all so it appears he is doing this to get paid off the work of others. The real Dev-team has contacted him and he ures them he is “helping them”. This site needs to be stopped because it’s misleading website visitors, Google Adwords people paying for placement and most importantly, not providing credit to the actual developers of the jailbreaking software.
What can you do to stop this?
Contact Google Adsense at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=18386
and report http://quickpwn.com for violation. He is “encouraging clicks” by plastering 85% of the site with advertising.
You can also give a shout out to the real development team at http://blog.iphone-dev.org and on Twitter at @iphone_dev and let them know you appreciate their hard work on the iPhone!

Of course he will donate that money to Dev-Team just to make them shut up! That cybersquatter gets like 10x profit from his site by putting so much AdSense on one page. The money he tried to donate to Dev-Team is like a little drop in ocean comparing to what he gets in return. And basically it is Dev-Team’s money! So he is donating Dev-Team’s money to themselves! Isn’t that ridiculous!?

I agree but they at least thet are (kinda) putting relavent ads on the site. You just have to get used to it.
QuickPWN is not an enemy:
@planetbeing @copumpkin @izsh1911 needed iPhone 3G S’ to mess around and figure out how to jailbreak it. QuickPwn donated $1400 dollars to get them it. But iPhone Dev Team refused.
QuickPWN wants to help the iPhone Dev Team. But the Team doesn’t want him to.
