cbprotect posts back on

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

for the most part I cut out everything before January 2007 from my journal here, but I went back and turned on the emails about cbprotect and how ridiculous their “DRM” is.

just to recap, I really think I’m doing the right thing here by telling them how their product is broken and that they are selling someone to people that gives them a false sense of security. And then upon being told that their protection is protection against the “less savvy” out there, I decided to post the post about how to crack cbprotect is here.

That argument is stupid.  If someone takes the lines of code from that post and makes a windows executable, then it’ll be all over.  I had made this in to a php application where you could upload a cbprotected exe and it would mail you back a pdf, but I took it down.

I don’t even crack stuff for a living.. they just rubbed me the wrong way.. all DRMs do.. profiteering off lies based on ignorance is also something that irks me.
