Inviqa programmer Vit Brunner helped destroy my business
Vit Brunner works for Inviqa in Sheffield and he is a good Go player - but he found a way to destroy my software company.
Vit Brunner instigated the theft of my advertizing money, probably pirated my software and caused it to be impossible to advertize via Google AdWords. Then he put up a libellous page on his blog - ranking #3 for my name - which was there for three years.
I am the programmer of the software "Mοyο Go Studiο", and I used to advertize my software through Google AdWords.

Adwords ads, when clicked upon, cost the advertizer some money and since my ads cost about half a dollar/click, I had only money for a few dozen clicks per day.
Vit Brunner explained on the rec.games.go USENET newsgroup that people could "punish" me by clicking on my ads, so that I would be charged by Google. Vit wanted to punish me for getting angry at another poster named David Windsor, who announced that he would make an illegal copy of my software available on P2P networks. Vit admitted he has no problem with using pirated software and he reacted by trying to prevent me from selling my software (which I had worked on full-time for four years):

The result was
that I lost my advertizing money day by day and my ads did not show, because Vit's friends were clicking on them, and after a few dozen clicks I ran out of advertizing money for that day, and the ads stopped showing.
Vit Brunner therefore greatly contributed to the fact that Mοyο Go Studiο failed in especially the SE Asian market - at a most crucial point, after four and a half years of development, I needed to recuperate some of my time and investments and finally started selling via Google AdWords ads - especially because due to the threat Moyo Go formed to the established order, AGA refused to review it because AGA's leadership produces and sells the competing MasterGo. Vit Brunner destroyed my only option to get publicity because he was envious that a non-Go player could make software that he himself tried to make, but failed.
Vit Brunner put his Go club in Brno to shame, and I strongly advise any prospective employer to give him a wide berth.
Vitek Brunner can not be trusted - he is a thief, he has stolen before and he will likely steal again. It is because Vit Brunner prevented me from advertizing, that Mοyο Go Studiο is now "on hold" instead of quickly further developed. Because my goal was to sell it in Japan and Korea. But this needs advertizing in their own language. Vit Brunner made this impossible. When a professional software developer spends 4 years on software, he can't continue forever - he needs to finally start selling it. And if he can't advertize it - that's the death for that software. Destroying that option for Mοyο Go Studiο is the most despicable cowardly act imaginable. No damage could be greater. The life's work of someone - down the drain.
Vit Brunner libels people on the Internet - now he's getting some of his own medicine
Vit Brunner was not merely content with destroying my advertizing ability and thereby greatly damaging me and the success of my software - he also made a heavily search-optimized blog entry about me, in which he tries to score high in Google for my name (3rd result). As a consequence, people that searched for me on the Internet (employers, family, business partners, customers) will get a very bad impression about me. This has been going on for years, and although I asked him to stop, Vit Brunner refused.
Vit Brunner is a software pirate and proud of it
Vitek Brunner claimed on rec.games.go that he uses Mοyο Go regularly, in spite of the fact he thinks it sucks. Yet, Vit Brunner is not a customer of mine, implying that he has stolen the software.
This is what Vit Brunner answered, when I confronted him with the theft of my software:

I could have seen it on a friend's computer, I could have found it on
the street, in the dustbin, or downloaded it through p2p or copied the
dvd... you know, there are sooo many ways.
Vit Brunner made money with cybercrime - with the same AdWords he clickfrauded!
