Default Re: Malfador Games Pirated

I'm with Narf on that, we shouldn't give up because the task seems beyond our ability. No task is.

For commerical goods, military force is fully justified. Just start pulling up Piracy reports or call up a shipping company that runs container ships in South East Asia or the Eastern Med.

On the Internet, we got a number of options. CDKey checkers that compare with an Online dbase (but those can be cracked and someone forbid if that dbase was leaked!), reducing the speed of the internet to something redicously low (14.4 anyone?), or redesigning both Operating Systems and the Internet itself to prevent it (and why not kill spam one time).

Then CD Burners. They made that Copy Proof CD, but as CNN reported, that's bypassed by a single key. Why not design copy-proof programs? Programs that'll self destruct or void itself if you try to copy it where the programmers and developers alone know the special codes to install patches.

Or Perhaps the Pregnancy Prevention approach and use a wide variety and combination of prevention methods together to reduce it down.

It also wouldn't hurt to setup a digital privateers' guild on the global level to hunt down these people and shut them down for good.
