Piracy is bad-a report

As a software developer myself, I know how hard it is to see your product being ripped off. We have recently reported on how even $2 iPhone games  or iPad games are not immune despite their low cost and closed platforms. Their developers have reported piracy rates as high as and  respectively.

Mac developer Dmitry Chestnykh of  recently came across a crack on The Pirate Bay for his journal keeping application and decided to use different tactics. Out of curiosity, he downloaded the crack to see how it worked, and he did not like what he found one bit, ... but it's not for the reasons you might think.

Reproduced below is a portion of the official complaint he has filed with the Pirate Bay, under the heading of "Notice of Ridiculous Activity" (keep in mind English isn't Dmitry's first language).

It has come to my attention that the torrent located at [URL] is ridiculous.

Not only it requires installing APE plugin, and generating keyfiles using some scary tool, it contains an [expletive] *WINDOWS* program to verify the validity of this release. The "How-to" section in the description is just incomprehensible, and won't be understood by anyone other than the writer of this description.

Clearly, the "cracker" Minamoto did a lazy job and don't know how to crack software. It's an [expletive] SINGLE BOOLEAN SWITCH that validates the licence, it doesn't require any Application Enhancer tricks or whatever.

I demand that you don't remove this torrent, so that people can laugh at Minamoto and CORE skills. However, I also demand the better crack to be made, so that it doesn't cripple the user experience of my beautiful program.

Dmitry: for your vigorous defense of Quality, TUAW salutes you.
