djgary72 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm curious to know exactly what Spacial are doing to combat what i can only see as a Flood on Twitter of people wanting and trading in Cracked copies of the software SAM broadcaster. You would have thought they would be rushing to stem the Flow of such things but it looks like it's a really big problem. Would love to know as i personally think it's out of hand. Don't believe me ? Just search Twitter for Sam Broadcaster. 100's of tweets asking for keys and cracked versions. My Blog https://djgarybaldy.blogspot.com User of RadioDJ FREE radio playout software since 2010.

BWorld Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just like any popular software, there will always be cracked copies going around and people will be looking for them. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?

djgary72 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 So they aren't that bothered about doing anything about it then ..... their loss i guess. Mind when i get Tweets from people saying they've been ripped off by Spacial it doesn't surprise me that there are so many cracked versions out there. Guess the silence from Spacial really speaks a thousand words. My Blog https://djgarybaldy.blogspot.com User of RadioDJ FREE radio playout software since 2010.

SmoothJazz Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You are so uninformed. Doubtful they would spend much time on old versions however their new version certainly has updates to it to and "answers" your question. -v2013.1 (25 January 2013) * Updated 2013 splash screen graphics * Better looking activation screen. * Much improved manual activation process. * Code-signed EXE with updated certificate * Copyright message year updated to 2013 * Proper SAM LITE support * Fix a SAM freeze bug * Fix activation issue where directory does not exist yet to store license file. -v2013.0 (12 December 2012) * Windows 8 compatibility. * All new product key and activation system. * Improved stability in multi-CPU environments. * HTML Encoding removed from CDATA XML fields in stwCue. http://5280jazz.com/nowplaying_image/5280jazz.png Rob Oyler 5280 Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djgary72 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 A new product activation system will not stop people from trying to crack it ....

cr08 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 And what is your complaint again? As already noted, any popular software title is going to at least have an attempt at being cracked and are usually successful. With that you are ALWAYS going to get people contacting official support for cracked copies for whatever reason. Given they have long been in the works with SAM 2013, it justifies why they've never bother curtailing cracked copies and wasting their time. If they start getting the same effect with 2013, I am sure they will start adding an effort. It should be noted though that existing cracks for SAM 3/4 are sh*tty at best. The last solidly 'working' crack was for like 3.2.3 or something of that vintage. Any recent ones do not work 100% and tend to randomly crash or stop running altogether. Any station worth their salt wouldn't deal with this. I'm betting 99.99% of those who attempt using cracked versions wouldn't pay anyways and are just screwing around with the software.

djgary72 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 In the first post i asked I'm curious to know exactly what Spacial are doing to combat what i can only see as a Flood on Twitter of people wanting and trading in Cracked copies of the software SAM broadcaster. If you do a quick Google for SAM Broadcaster there are now DMCA complaints filed by Spacial this month http://www.chillingeffects.org/notice.cgi?sID=908349 Nice to see they are finally doing something about the cracked copies out there. Why anyone wants to run a cracked copy of SAM is beyond me... When there is RadioDJ For free. My Blog https://djgarybaldy.blogspot.com User of RadioDJ FREE radio playout software since 2010.
