CRACK TRACKER: HALT SOFTWARE PIRACY AT ITS DISTRIBUTION - INCREASE YOUR PROFITS

LONDON, UK - 30 MARCH 2011. Zabkat software announces Crack Tracker, a novel desktop warez search engine that locates and removes copyright infringing downloads from popular file hosting and file sharing websites.

If you are a software author and you lament the loss of earnings from cracks and keygens distributed via file-sharing sites then you will appreciate this unique DMCA assistant tool.

Almost all popular software titles have been reverse engineered and had their DRM cracked. These programs are available without charge on Internet sites that specialize in cracked software. Increasingly people prefer these illegal downloads rather than purchasing the original and legitimate software titles. Software houses lose profits to Internet piracy and risk suffering the same fate as the music industry.

Traditionally the fight against software piracy involved strengthening the DRM. This avenue has proven futile as it won't stop a determined cracker from bypassing the protection - and frequently annoys legitimate customers who bought the software.

Crack Tracker is a completely new idea for the battle against online piracy. Crack Tracker cannot stop crackers from patching or cracking your software, but it helps put an end to the distribution of these cracks through file-sharing websites.

Crack Tracker is a meta-search engine that uses the same search engines pirates and people searching for warez use, to discover all live downloads that match a search keyword (e.g. the name of your software or your company).

Once your compromised download URLs are discovered, Crack Tracker sends DMCA takedown notices via email to file-hosting websites. In essence it requests to have these files removed as unauthorized infringements of your legal copyright, under the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Almost all file hosting websites abide to the DMCA rules and will promptly remove your software from their servers.

With fewer cracked versions in circulation, people who need your software will be forced to buy it. Therefore, software publishers' profits will increase.

In principle the same idea and procedure can be used for removing other copyright violations in sectors like books, music, video and other media distributed electronically. Thus Crack Tracker is not just useful for software authors, but also for artists, writers and other creative individuals.

Crack Tracker retails at $49.95(US). System requirements: Windows 2000 and later (XP, Vista, win7 etc) with Internet Explorer v6 or later. Please visit the website http://cracktracker.net for more information and to download the trial version.
