Saw DaveMchenry post this on his Twitter. I'm fascinated by it, and support it 100%.

Invision Power Services -> Combating piracy as a community

What are your thoughts on this system?

Wizzard · 08-03-2010, 05:08 PM

Sounds like a good idea, maybe go one stage further, if your IPB board doesn't call home correctly it get's disabled. Or would that be classed as Invision hacking themselves?

That looks like it could be pretty good.

The one thing that caught my attention, and shows they have their heads in the real world, was this:

"Saying we can stop piracy is wishful thinking - it's never going to go away, however we can do as much as possible to deter pirates and prevent it from happening."

I hope it works...

That part was a positive hit for me, too, and shows how they know what they can and can't do. If they keep that mentality, they'll never have the false expectations that other anti-pirating measures set.

I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Enterprise members?

I think it sounds like a good idea

Brandon Sheley · 08-03-2010, 06:43 PM

Good luck to them, I don't see it helping though TBH
hackers and crackers will find ways to generate the keys

Mark.B · 08-03-2010, 07:54 PM
