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)。

让你的软件在某些云中以SaaS的形式工作，这样你就可以以一些流量/功能价值出售它，并防止它被破坏。
我相信广泛的软件盗版通常意味着你对你产品的基本版本要价过高，你最终可以通过大幅降低入门版本的价格来赚更多的钱——市场甚至可能希望这个版本免费。关键是要正确划分市场，弄清楚谁能够支付什么。
As an example of this, look at Visual Studio vs Delphi/C++ Builder. The two used to be very competitive, with old Broderbund/Borland perhaps even ahead of Visual Studio at one time. And then Microsoft figured out they needed to give away a base version of Visual Studio that honestly has enough features for most of us to get by if we really needed to. The result? Delphi/C++ Builder completely lost the low end of the market where the students are that feed into the more-lucrative professional market. Now they're fading fast into irrelevance.
I don't know for sure what I would do in your position, but at least one developer who found his cracked software available as a torrent emailed the host to complain -- not about the crack, but about the quality of the crack. It seems that the cracker didn't do a very good job and made the software less desirable. The developer was apparently horrified that his product, with his name, was going out to people and would ruin his product's good reputation, and demanded that if someone was going to crack it, that they needed to do a better job!
这个故事出现在Slashdot上:
开发者要求海盗湾不移除Torrent
你无法阻止盗版……想要你的软件(但无意购买)的人永远不会购买它，总是试图找到免费获得它的方法……
相反，专注于生产人们想要购买的高质量产品。不要专注于生产一款(试图)阻止盗版的产品……这样做只会分散你生产高质量产品的注意力，只会激怒你的付费客户(DRM吗?)
想想看……花x个小时在一个很酷的新功能上，或者花同样多的时间来阻止潜在的盗版者入侵你的软件。我相信购买你的软件的人会非常欣赏这些酷炫的新功能，而不是让软件在一天中的任何时候都“更少”被黑客攻击……
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!
