Post your comments for iPhone App Cracker Released--Then Pirated here

[Kyek]

Nick, with all due respect, do your research. Crackulous is a free, open-source app. The "author" you're quoting is a scammer trying to sell others' work. Try using the original source instead of third-party account. It's all on the front page of Hackulo.us.

A hacker being hacked by hacker pirates no that somethin you don't hear about everyday. But it must go on behind the scenes but those are the stories you don't hear.

@Kyek
Thanks for the clarification--I'll update the post accordingly.

Try-before-buy is not a right, nor is it a valid excuse for piracy. Many 'lite' versions of apps are available if the developer wants to provide a preview.
Nobody cares about the tragedy of a hacker falling on their sword - this whole story is just dreamed up for publicity.

@ McDaveH: Agreed about try-before-you buy insofar as it isn't a right and it isn't a valid excuse for piracy. But developers should have the option of building in, say, a 15-day trial into their iPhone apps, just as they can with desktop apps.

Nice one! Maybe then I can grab it, grab Taxi Magic, and then use it to grab cab rides from other people. Three degrees of separation already!
