Why not? o.o

Is that the one that supposedly got pirated? 

Only problem is that people with a pirated WSB are registered and able to log on.....or you wouldn't even know they were here...

Easy Fix.

They can pirate their own program, get the pirated serial, and then blacklist it on the new system.

Or, they can add a new system, and just send an new email to all the legit buyers with a forum password. That way for the most part even if they had a pirated version would be locked out of the forums as they wouldn't have the forum key.

I know they could easily work around that by adding that file to a new torrent but that's an easy fix too.

Change passwords once a week or so, that way even if a forum password gets out, by the time it's mass spread throughout the pirate community, we'll already have a new one in place, thus keeping them out that much longer.

Would be a bit extensive but it'll keep them out that much more.

The whole reason they pirate the stuff is to be lazy and not pay. By making them work for the final product would be best.


------------------------------------

Also going with them downloading their own pirated version to get the serial used, blacklist the serial on the updated versions. That way they can't even update to a newer version if they somehow find one out there, or have the info to get the download section of the host. They'd have the program but no working serial.

The owner technically wouldn't be able to complain, as he gave away a serial to a program that's pay for. ( Should be somewhere in your Terms of Service/Use agreement or any other agreements , if not it should be added. )

After doing a quick search, I found;

First one pertaining to what I had mentioned about blacklisting known pirated serials.

Oh well, thanks for the fast reply and answer anyways
