I came across this story and found it hilarious.
=======================================
Pirate Bay Receives Notice To Keep a Torrent
Mémoires is an application that allows Mac users to keep an easy and elegant journal. The application is developed by Coding Robots and can be purchased for $29.95 after a full 30-day trial. However, those who prefer a longer trial can get an unauthorized copy from one of the many torrent sites out there.
A few months ago Dmitry Chestnykh, the founder of Coding Robots and copyright holder of Mémoires, discovered that his program – like many others – was being shared via The Pirate Bay. Out of curiosity he decided to download the torrent to find out how it was cracked, and he didn’t like what he saw.
In a passionate “Notice of Ridiculous Activity” (reproduced in part below, errors intact) the company’s founder decided to notify The Pirate Bay crew about his findings, shocked as he was at the crappy work of the person who cracked his application.
“Not only it requires installing APE plugin, and generating keyfiles using some scary tool, it contains a ****ing *WINDOWS* program to verify the validity of this release. The ‘How-to’ section in the description is just incomprehensible, and won’t be understood by anyone other than the writer of the description,” Chestnykh writes.
“Clearly, the ‘cracker’ Minamoto did a lazy job and don’t know how to crack software. It’s a ****ing SINGLE BOOLEAN SWITCH that validates the license, it doesn’t require any Application Enhancer tricks or whatever.”
“I demand that you don’t remove this torrent, so that people can laugh at Minimoto and CORE skills. However, I also demand the better crack be made, so that it doesn’t cripple the use experience of my beautiful program,” Chestnykh added, putting pressure on the Pirate Bay crew.
=======================================
Bolding to add emphasis to the absolutely comical part of the whole thing!
That said, I can't link to the entire story due to the filtered out word above is unfiltered on the actual story. The rules and regulations here at CZ prevent me from linking to it so. If you're half intelligent, I'm sure you can find the full story with the information already provided.
