Software That is both Shareware and Guiltyware
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:

Re: Software That is both Shareware and Guiltyware
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.

Re: Software That is both Shareware and Guiltyware
The only question remains, How do they actually determine which code is actually pirated and which one is not?

Re: Software That is both Shareware and Guiltyware
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

Re: Software That is both Shareware and Guiltyware
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.

Re: Software That is both Shareware and Guiltyware
It's useless.
A pirate knows he is guilty anyways, such warnings won't have any effect whatsoever on him.
