FilmRender DEAD: blame the crackers....

[Dr Mordrid]

Ned Nurk's FilmRender is now out of production. Some morons cracked his authentication system. This brought sales to a halt, thereby causing his company to go belly up.

Ned had a really nice program with FilmRender and he was going to add some important new features to it. That's all over now.

Obviously Ned is more than ticked off about this, and who can blame him?

That's real shitty. Whereas I have used cracked software in the past, I try to support shareware that asks a reasonable price (most of them). Crackers need to check themselves.

Was it shareware? Lots of shareware authors do not implement any licensing schemes at all, but they don't seem to have any problems worth griping about (or I'm sure they would). What's the difference between a shareware program with a cracked licensing scheme and a piece of shareware that's not "protected" in the first place?
