making your software more hack proof the next time, will only make the hackers curse you more... and essentially make the chances of them buying the software even lower. take the music industry, instead of chasing after people as the record companies did in the past, they decided just to make it easier for people to obtain the music in the first place, like on itunes. getting music on itunes nowadays is quicker then limewire! limewire, you might not find what song you are looking for, and you might get a virus, or a bad version, while downloading from itunes is probably quicker as well! also, instead of chasing every joe blogs that illegally posts their song on youtube, they post their own songs on youtube, and link it to a purchase... good marketing i think, but a bit off the point i suppose. If someone has a choice of going to another room, finding their credit card, typing in ALL the details, or just getting it quicker for free via torrent... they will chose option B. So my advice is:

1)像某人建议的那样弹出一个窗口，上面写着“真为你感到羞耻”。如果有人没有，然后去支付软件后的消息。他们一开始就不会为软件付费。PS.还要说:“这是您正在使用的盗版版本，不能保证此软件的完整性，这可能对您的计算机有害。”要购买认证版本，点击这里”，吓唬他们一点，但不威胁他们。

2)让支付变得非常简单，也许可以尝试通过软件公司出售，这些软件公司已经存储了人们的信用卡详细信息，这样他们就可以一键购买。我现在使用itunes的唯一原因是，它比limewire更快，而且我可以预览一下:)

3)合理定价:(说实话，我认为如果adobe把他们的产品价格降低到原来的四分之一，他们的销售额就会增加四倍。除非一个黑客要花费超过70个小时(每小时10美元)才能破解adobe软件(大约700美元)，否则他们才会购买它。如果一个程序是5美元，对他们来说可能更好…然而，我发布的产品有时需要根据投入的工作量定价更高。

从本质上讲，所有这些建议都与……有关。试着让黑客站在你这边，通过内疚、说服和节省他们的时间!

在线验证系统怎么样?我的意思是. .如果你(自动)按需创建序列号，并要求在线验证来激活你的软件，也许你可以减缓坏的活动。我不了解你的软件，这只是一个想法。

如果你想设置一个加密方案和一个网络认证，你可以阻止黑客。

我认为Steam可能是当今最著名的例子。

这取决于你的应用程序有多商业化——游戏盗版是非常严重的。我不认为技术商业应用会被大量盗版，当然它不像游戏或photoshop那样具有“吸引力”。

今年春天有一个臭名昭著的例子，一些“休闲游戏”开发商在他们的游戏中提供“自己定价”的促销活动。人们可以花1美分买一款游戏，但数据显示，软件被盗的数量至少比支付的数量多1/4。http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Saving-a-penny----pirating-the-Humble-Indie-Bundle

我所见过的最优雅的解决方案是在所有网页的底部用小字体写明“漏洞、warez、keygens、torrent文件、免费下载等会伤害该软件的发布者”。它游戏PageRank和(希望)导致搜索欺骗你的用户被发送到你的网站。

这让我想起了autodesk/kinetix的反应，尽管他们声称反应完全是一个意外，是裂缝本身的副产品。

3DSMax的一个破解版本有一个令人讨厌的侧面行为-每次它打开一个模型文件，它破坏顶点坐标只是多一点-不足以在任何给定的运行中被注意到，但随着时间的推移，很多破坏可能会发生。这个项目的成本可能是数千美元，但修复损坏的时间和金钱成本使之相形见绌。

mfgr声称这是一个完全的事故/裂缝的副作用，在这里，我相信他们修复了他们软件中的一些东西——也就是说，他们确实向他们的用户群传递了一个强大的信息......

不要有错误的想法——我不建议这样做，特别是在IANAL之后——另一方面，我总是发现这是一个有趣的轶事

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.
