Due to this model it has been hard to crack DivX, photoshop and PowerDVD, cuz full version is really not easily available. Embed a unique signature into each binary licensed to someone - is another critical step with these protected downloads. Ideas given by steve are used by many software companies and are quite succesful. I also agree with steve on the fact that Open Source developer needs to pay his bills nad Dual license is necessary, like with Irrklang. U cant stop piracy, but make it tough, so it will be very less. I remember a crack for Prince of persia 2 thrones was unavailable for almost one year as StarForce 4 copy protection system could not be cracked then. The only way was to unplug the DVD drive physically, using daemon tool with drive hider. which was so cumbersome that only 5 % piraters could actually play the game. This quite effective. Another effective method is of Power DVD of cutting features. embedding signatures in download will give u the culprits to sue. Rest is as always ur choice.[/quote]
