Statement on the Malicious Plagiarism and Unauthorized Redistribution of Json Assistant

[MemoryZy]

Overview

Recent Discovery:
The source code of my originally developed plugin Json Assistant has been maliciously tampered with and redistributed by third parties. Specific violations include:

• Code Plagiarism:
  Direct copying of core functional code with only minor modifications to the plugin name, icons, and descriptions.
• Unauthorized Monetization:
  Adding paywalls to all features without authorization and profiting from these restrictions.
• Source Obfuscation:
  Removing original author information and open-source license declarations to conceal plagiarism.

The infringing plugin, published on the JetBrains Marketplace as Json Viewer, is identical in functionality and logic to the original work, constituting a severe infringement of intellectual property rights.

Newly Observed Details:
After the plagiarism was exposed, the involved author Infinitron has rushed a "new version" (3.0.14) attempting to further conceal copyright infringement through:

• Modifying the tool window icon
• Replacing core feature-related Action-Id
• ......

Critical Facts:
Despite superficial disguises, the plugin's core code logic and functional implementations remain substantially identical to my original work, with the essence of plagiarism fundamentally unchanged.

Stop the infringement immediately

We hereby demand that Infinitron immediately:

1. Cease all infringement activities
2. Remove all infringing versions (including but not limited to version 3.0.14)
3. Delete all distribution content from the JetBrains Marketplace and other platforms

Proper Use Initiative

To safeguard developer rights and ensure usage security, please obtain the official Json Assistant plugin exclusively through the JetBrains Marketplace. Your choice directly sustains the healthy evolution of open-source ecosystems:

• Ongoing Updates - Timely access to new features and critical bug resolutions
• Uncompromised Functionality - Zero artificial feature restrictions or paywalls
