In order to avoid confusion, I would have included "temporarily" in the topic title, as once they find a solution, they are resuming development. ;)
The way I see it, piracy of add-ons is never going to be stopped. Not the way FSX and FS9 are set up. If Microsoft came up with a way to prevent piracy with Flight add-ons, that would be great. But I doubt that the current versions of FS will see the end of piracy. :( |

Sad news, alas anti-piracy is always a cat and mouse thing and there is no 100% secure solution....

Nemeth should hook up with Flight1 to use their wrapper or Aerosoft.

I know for sure that Flight1's security was cracked a while back. Some clever-clogs came up with a way around their install systems ::)

My thought, is package everything and only sell on CD's. Make the Cd's Copy-protected like the FS9 Disk 4 was. .. yes, there are ways around it, but the average jo-shmow wont know the programs to use to crack the CD.
in that.. put a watermark inside & outside the aircraft.. special registration number. if you do crack the CD, and try to upload it, then "the uploader" could/would be liable for any number of downloads thereafter (possibly 400+) be charged for PIRACY and PAY in restitution for the amount of downloads that resulted from them putting it on the net. Also, to go 1 step further. A one (1) [uno, single] time activation. Once you activate it, if you change comptuers, unfortunately, there would be a $10 service fee to get a NEW code. ------ yes, this will cut down DRASTICALLY in the number of products being sold to begin with, but in the long run, I ask you.. "Would you be willing to spend the extra $10 once your activation has been confirmed that it is YOU and you are not claiming to be someone else to get that Agusta Westland 109 back on your drive after a Harddrive crash???" Couple all 3 together, and it would be a big dent in the piracy, but unfortunately drive the price of the product up from say $29.95 for the ND AW109 to $59.95 + $10/reactivation. If you REALLY want that ND AW109, i am sure that you would find a way to come up with the $59.95. ... i mean, look at how much you are going to pay for ORBX Pacific Northwest, Pacific Fjords, Northern Rocky Mountains, Cushman Meadows, Concrete, etc etc etc etc.... how much is all that worth?? $175-200???? What is $60 for a helo? |

This is why Pete is so supportive of freeware developers, they give totally selflessly for the pleasure of others.
I have no issue with payware developers, I've beta-tested for a fair few but having been involved with freeware products a lot more (as a tester as well as developing flight models for people) I can't express how much satisfaction I've got from seeing screenshots of kites other people have developed and I've helped make fly (I'm as artistic as a banana). So hooray for freeware 8-) |
