Re: cracking site - how do we shut it down?

[Bob Ebert]

A modest proposal:

Just get rid of your copy protection entirely.

1) you waste less time writing stuff that crackers will just break
2) your users don't have to mess with registration codes


If you want to help keep people honest, use social pressure.  Add the owner
name into the code at install or first launch, then display it at startup.

1) Because it doesn't disable the software, there's no incentive for
crackers to crack that.
2) it adds a guilt trip and an audit trail.
