Greetings Developers,
you seem to be afraid about C r A c K s, unlicensed software a lot. There are some websites that made Buddybots their business, they offer different things, like our products for free or for a fee, emulate auth services and buddystore.
Now you are afraid that this will lose you a lot of sales, one of you even had some numbers and calculated out that 5-15 % of his products are used without an license.
"Yet a striking 43 percent of the software installed on personal computers globally in 2013 was not properly licensed."

In Germany the unlicensed rate is 24 %, in China 74 %, Russia 62 %, Spain 45 %. From the numbers you hopefully can see, that we are way below the word average on pirated software, if the numbers from that developer are correct.

From my own feeling, i would tend to say that only 1 of 10 Buddybot users have an unlicensed version.
We try our best, to stop big sites that make a living out of your and our software, we try too keep it as cost effective as possible.
