iPhone developer takes measures to combat piracy

10.03.2009

Being a Full Screen Web Browser user myself, I have to say that I have no problem with the developer putting in anti-piracy measures as long as it is invisible to me (honest person that I am), nor would I mind seeing more developers use these methods. They do need to feed their kids, after all, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to try and prevent the theft of their software.

That said, it's a shame that things have to come to this. Apple's chosen to control the entire process themselves, making it the company's responsibility to ensure that the system is secure as it can reasonably be. If Apple's DRM is this vulnerable, third-party developers may feel less inclined to spend the time developing apps. Hopefully, the company will be able to mend this gaping hole in the App Store and iPhone eco-system sooner rather than later.
