所以，经过6个月的努力，我终于发布了我的申请。今天我发现第一个下载它的网站被破解了，我想知道你们程序员同事中是否有人知道如何应对这种东西?
有什么软件作者可以做什么来让破解的版本离线，或者我只是骨头，不应该再创建任何软件，而只是在客户的项目上工作?你有什么建议?有人有这方面的经验吗?
编辑:编程是我所做的——所以是否继续没有问题，只是客户为每个项目支付真金，我仍然不知道独立开发是否至少会为所投入的时间付出代价，现在有了破解的下载，我试图评估该做什么，以及是否有办法做出反应
帖子讨论:当我看到这个问题引起了多大的兴趣时，我想说，即使不是纯粹的编程主题，社区也需要说出他们的想法。我想说，对于任何对这个主题感兴趣的程序员来说，这个页面都是一个非常好的读物。

让我们来问问新闻电台的乔，他认为你应该怎么做: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T-CreVC_6Y
但就像他们说的，这是值得偷的好迹象。

你可能想要添加这样的内容:
还要考虑价格。我不知道你们的软件是什么，但每种产品都有多个市场。例如，Photoshop有一个普通版本，它有点超出了任何人想要修饰他们的假期照片的成本范围。出于这个原因，他们制造元素，虽然没有那么多，但确实服务于市场。如果你的软件价格昂贵，而且个人用途有限，可以尝试发布一个家庭版。试用版，广告支持版。
你不要试图检测被黑的版本。这种类型的DRM只会惹恼真正的用户
我必须承认我没有阅读所有的答案和大量的评论，但这里是我对这个话题的看法:
专注于让软件的付费变得尽可能简单。想想Steam和iTunes。不诚实的人总是会竭尽全力不付钱，但我想如果你让它足够简单，大多数人会很乐意付钱给你。 保持低价。如果价格足够低(比如5美元)，它就会低于“实际上免费”的门槛，人们就会开始想“5美元不算什么，我还不如付钱”。
这两者结合起来将防止您诚实的客户试图获得您的软件的黑客副本。
Make your software contact a central server while it is being used. Roll patches/etc through the server connection. Also, make 1 or 2 main features that occasionally contact the server to do the processing. Require a valid account that auto-logs in in order for the main features to work. Make the valid accounts pay a small fee like 1-2 dollars a month. Ask them to put a credit card on file and roll the charges into 6-month billing increments or something so you don't just waste a bunch on CC fees.
同时，保持一个容易找到的，低成本的软件版本。人们每个月花1美元就可以使用5次。随着使用量的增加而增加费用。让人们找到并安装免费版本比找到并安装破解/黑客版本更便宜、更容易。
Consider piracy as a business expense that comes with the territory of having a product that can be sold to thousands at near zero product cost. We can't have it all our way. Just use basic protection to stop customers passing it around. Anything more is not worth the time and expense. Don't make your paying customers jump through licensing hoops. Often I'll pay for a product, get driven crazy by the licensing scheme and seek out a cracked version. Make trials not by period but by hours used. It's easy to get diverted and not have a chance to evaluate the software. Most people won't consider to ask for an extension. Consider if you've pirated music CDs, movies, software etc. yourself and rest in peace knowing it somewhat evens out. Always have different levels of your product. People don't want to pay big bucks for a product they only use 10% of. Make the product fantastic. Customers will eagerly await the latest version and not want to wait for a crack to appear. The users of poor products think, "I hate this product, it's full of bugs, but I haven't found anything better yet". That's inviting piracy.
