Pirates!

The nice thing about a new release is that you get back on top of the download sites and new people will notice your product. The bad thing is that it's also a note to crackers to let them know you have a new version.

Every program that's interesting will be cracked. You can find an Adobe Photoshop Serial or a Vista Keygen just by googling. Anyone with a blog can help out a little and create fake links for cracks like the one above. This will help pirates find a nice tune instead of the software they are looking for.

I've seen some keygens for my software previously, so I switched to a different full binary. I wasn't surprised to find a Sniff - O - Matic crack on the net today. This one is different than the others: they stripped the trial version and simply distribute the .exe file. They did a bad job however, and the interface is garbled up. Time to update my version I guess.

There is no recent Watchdog - O - Matic crack or Service - O - Matic crack, but I'll have to watch out.
