Pirate app creator doesn't like pirates
AN UNUSUAL TWIST in a quite ordinary tale has occurred all thanks to some cheapskate who didn’t want to pay for iPhone Apps.
The iPhone App Crackulous, which makes is easy to download pirated apps on jailbroken iPhones, was released in order to strip the copyright so that cracked applications can be shared on peer-to-peer networks without any permission from the holder.
This all seems pretty normal so far. Yet it all gets a little stupid when one finds out more about the author of Crackulous. In an exchange on Gizmodo he tells a user to stop using a pirated copy of Crackulous, but download the authentic, pirate one – still with us?
So, the maker of an iPhone app allowing users to pirate other iPhone apps had their own app pirated and believes this to be some kind of injustice.
Mr. Crackulous Creator says, "...I need people to support my work... I deserve appreciation."
Of course, and the legitimate App creators deserve nothing. μ

Reminds me of the "good old days" when you could buy CD's packed with pirated apps from different suppliers. I remember that one CD that I got had a text file on where the supplier aired his anger over people that made copies of "his" discs and gave away/sold. He didn't see the irony in it at all.
A pirate complaining about piracy...now I've seen everything.
unique. I mean, I honestly can't tell the difference between this guy and all those CEOs who run their businesses to the ground and then wants to get paid for it. Hang 'em high lads.
Now I have to go find a cracked copy of Crackulous just to spite this nut. And I don't even have an iPhone !
Are you so blind that you can't see the difference between getting respect and admiration from people and demanding their money through cold, hard business? I guess you don't like Robin Hood much.
Arr!!!

Crackulous is free software. The pirate creator is complaining that it's being sold and misrepresented. Here's what Hackulo.us has to say:
The quick and dirty: Crackulous was developed right here on our forum, on our SVN server. Anyone selling Crackulous or claiming to be the developer is trying to scam you. The official Cydia repository to get Crackulous is http://cydia.hackulo.us. Crackulous is and will always be FREE SOFTWARE. It has had NO OTHER developers but SaladFork and Angel, with contributions from Uncon.
The scammer turned out to be Haklab, trying to drive traffic back to his blog. Move along, nothing to see here.
