i am still getting sales.. no doubt about it. only around 2% of
palm users will use the cracks and hacks.. and $10 is nothing!
the main point here (and this is what i discussed with the "leader")
of the palmwarez website on the IRC chat..
is:
- if the software is cheap, and good.. they will buy it anyhow,
as a sign of appreciation to the developer.
even they agreed on that.! :P so.. i guess there are one of two
options:
a) develop a really cool regcode system (uncrackable).
b) keep your software cheap.
c) maybe give periodic changes to the regCodes.. (this is bad)
cheers.
az.
