I thought it would be fun to list things we wish we can code to execute when a cracked app is detected; 1. show a pic of an ugly pirate (THIS IS YOU!) 2. add a cracked watermark over the screen at all times 3. change all sound effects to point to "cracked.mp3" anything more creative or crazy out there?
Lie and make a pop up saying I hope your not connected to wifi or anything, because if you are, the cops now know your location, and are goin to make you walk the plank
Rickroll them!! Of course the file size will be increased for your legitimate users by the size of the video file... or you could send them to youtube.
How long before crimson, dorino and others jump on here to tell us there's no stopping crackers even though this is just a wishlist?
when you detect the crack, its important not to react immediatly, as then this part will also be cracked. ideas: 1. delay (if crack then save in local adatabase a flag and date stamp) if (date > ...) then action 2. connect to a server, set a flag there (using the UID) and check if another flag is set then react to be sure the cracked version got spread around before the anticrack can be detected. The flags can be set on the server after some time our count is reached. just some ideas.
I LOL'd. Unfortunately, not quite effective on iPod users. Plus lawsuit would happen against the dev.
lawsuit? Not neccasarily. Sent to jail for possession of child pornography? Maybe. That one isn't such a great one ;D
Of course not. If a developer seriously wanted to do something like that he or she wouldn't have to be in possession of anything. A static URL built into the application could simply be re-routed dynamically to the latest and most disgusting source. I'm not sure what the legal implications would be but I doubt possession would be required... Anyway, I thought this thread was intended to remain sarcastic and that was the nastiest thing I could think of at the time.
Flashing lights!!!!! Epileptic people beware! Load up Bratz the movie. That is the best form of torture I can think of.
go crazy yes. go crazy with the ones we WISH we can do. put a pirate hat on the character reduce the whole screen by 40% change the all the bg into a static ad for a sleazy product
While we're dreaming... When crack == true Hijack stereo and/or computer and/or home entertainment system Download every Celine Dion, Back Street Boys, and Maroon5 album thrice Loop repeatedly. Select all contacts in cell phone and email directory Send family, friends, and business contacts pictures of that night you spent with the hot exotic lady friend that turned out to be Dunkin Donuts #1 customer (yes, the Jack Daniel's helped... a lot)
