you are not gonna guilt anyone into not pirating and if the message blocks or is annoying, crackers are gonna circumvent it just like they did the license check.
- jjeaff 4y agoA lot of big players like adobe and microsoft don't seem to think this is a problem. In the past I have gotten cracks for legitimately purchased software from both because their licensing system is/was crap and would block access thinking my copy was not valid. Pretty bad when the pirated versions of your software work better than the legit copy.
- kobalsky 4y ago> A lot of big players like adobe and microsoft don't seem to think this is a problem Microsoft has bribed their way into having power of police in Argentina. the can legally obligate you to give them a report of how many computers and what operating systems you are using and they can request a judge's order to enter your company with the police to audit your infrastructure if they think you are not telling them the truth. I they will do this kind of stuff without fear of losing face I don't think they will care if some legit customer gets hit by a false positive.
- dpedu 4y agoI think the inclusion of 'corrupt' gives legitimate users a mental excuse from this problem.
