    I used to write and sell shareware circa 2000. I got annoyed at cracked versions of my software showing up without fail a day or two after I released stuff, so one time I wrote and released an app named “Magic Text Box” which was nothing but a form with a big text box on it. It didn’t do anything at all and it didn’t even have any kind of protection on it. Two days later somebody released a cracked version of it. To this day I still do not understand how that person had nothing better to do.
