Same here. I have successfully removed (by asking moderators of online forums) my app from multiple forums where it could be downloaded freely, but I have not been able to keep up lately :(
It's a fact of life, alas. Every piece of software is pirated. I just hope that most people think that 99 cents or a couple of bucks is not worth getting a pirated version. A killswitch could do make it more difficult: Add code to your app that disables versions older than a given version. But with any 'protection' scheme, you want to avoid p%#ssing customers off. :-) On Jul 22, 9:30 am, Moto <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry but I'm very mad about this situation!
