Software That is both Shareware and Guiltyware

If you can’t beat software pirates, at least make them feel guilty. That’s exactly what Alessandro Levi Montalcini is doing with people who use cracked codes to register his USB Overdrive software for Mac.

As soon as someone enters pirated key following message gets displayed:

nice move..much better than putting stupid checks.

Yup.....hopefully it stops now.

LOL!!! That was a nice one!! But I'm afraid most people will just laugh and move on.

Well. I loved this one! And yeah this should be implemented by major software vendors. I know WGA of Windows stands at similar level.. But the language used should be a little more revealing.. Not just like "You maybe a victim of Software Counterfieting." Noobs wont take it for nothings.

... Rather say Shame on almost all of us

^ tu besharam hai ... sabhi log nahi hain...

But I doubt whether it will have any impact other than a few laughs

lol

This is seriously funny. 99% of my pc software and data is *******

But imagine if all software companies starts flashing this sort of message (after accepting the FAKE Key) than after sometime users will say/think WHO CARES

The only question remains, How do they actually determine which code is actually pirated and which one is not?

ya may be they can stop a few american (or watever) ppl from pirating... i dont think it will stop indians from using them.. before u all jump on me, lets face the fact..even if someone calls indian person cheap, he'll most probably say "aah.. thank u for noticing! thank u"... However, it is a good move though! GUILTYWARE

Guiltyware, new wares series. The developer is true though.

Guiltyware...softwares which propagate this stuff should be downloaded like anything.
In this unaffordable costly world the last things which can afford to carry is conscience.

** Your registration code is a PIRATE one **
should be
** Your registration code is a PIRATED one **

SHAME on the developer (for bad grammar)

Nice one...i appreciate that... but i think no morality left from user side.

THerefore i encourage cracks instead of keygens

"Shame on me" rolf...lolz man...love that button...hahahaha

Nice One. Rather moore Funny

i dont think there will b much effect than sum laughs

It's useless.
A pirate knows he is guilty anyways, such warnings won't have any effect whatsoever on him.

Hope Microsoft Learns A Lesson From It

I'll love to.........!!!

Can anyone pls answer this?

^^ might be he has a series of reg no that is valid
or may be the soft has checked with the server for the key validity
or pasting from clip board,running xternal keygen,etc may be detected n the msg may be trigerred

i think that may be his algo
