I think the _idea_ of a honeypot page is great because it gives you a chance to re-engage with a potential user (not necessarily customer).
There's obviously more than one way to style it, but just like every good marketing how you present it should fit your product/brand.
Personally, I think the page should talk more about the "why" you should pay this guy (who works hard on it, bla bla bla) and less about scaring you into paying, because most people who know what a crack is aren't really scared away by the mention of malware.
- thr0waway1239 10y agoI think the software creator is also going to be facing another issue: this seems only one step away from creating an actual malware version and releasing it on the internet. That is not an impression you want to leave on your potential customers. The second problem is that you might now open yourself up to differentiation from competitors who can now claim they don't create 'manipulative' honeypot pages and thus gain attention to themselves in the worst way possible for this author - by taking a seemingly high moral ground.
