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。

我认为,考虑赞助商来开发你的项目将显著地保护你的权利(特别是财务上的权利)。

好消息是,如果有人费心破解了你的软件,这意味着它足够流行/有用,人们真的想要使用它……所以你一定在卖一些!

其次,有一种观点认为,使用破解版本实际上可能会提高你的产品的认知度,并导致更多的销售长期…试着把它想象成一场免费的营销活动……:-)

改变你的商业模式。出售可以零成本、无限制复制的东西并不是一个明智的主意。

版权和专利只是虚假的限制,在数字时代几乎不起作用。

你可能想要添加这样的内容:

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.

我发现现在很多人接受失败,忽视道德违规和公平之类的事情,这让我很失望。
