warning of Feurio, blacklisting, cracks, et al
poon
program has a piracy protection feature with burns some high-pitch squeals
and a monotone voice which says "illegal copy" in a drab Hun accent. On a CD
this "feature" made its appearance around the 20m mark; not sure if this
"feature" randomly inserts this data or the 20m mark is the magic number.
The high-pitch squeals are extremely loud and if they don't damage your
stereo system, they will do a number on your ears if the volume is already
high. The program gives no apparent notice of which serial/license numbers
are blacklisted. All I can say is that these are sneaky huns; fortunately
there are work-arounds.
If anyone has further infomation to Feurio's piracy protections, especially
when the squeals are applied please reply.

First: This is not true.
If a number is blacklisted, it would be rejected directly when
entering it.
This only occurs when you are using code-numbers generated from
serial-generators.
Reson for this:
If a direct box apears (code is wrong), it is quit easy for crackers
to debug this and make a correct code-generator.
But if the action does no appear immidiatly, this is hard to debug.
N.b: There is no chance to have this by error - the feurio! codes
consists of many diffent checks.
Most are checked directly when entering the code - but some are
checked later.
So a misstyped / blacklisten number is rejected directly at entering
codes.
This only happends when entering codes from so claimed "100% correct
code generatos".
>there are work-arounds.
Best work around: Goto http://www.feurio.com/English/Register any buy
a correct code.
Second: YOU HAVE BEED WARNED!
As stated in the dialog:
Feurio! is saved against illegal codes (pirate copies) in several
ways. The usage of codes not authorized from us will be at your own
risk!

I presume you are the creator of Feurio, you sneaky Hun, or an imposter. The
serial/license in question was not generated from a serial-generator and
everything seems to indicate the program is properly registered, until an
occasional CD comes out with the high-pitch beeping followed by your dead
voice (I presume) saying "illegal copy" followed by the same high-pitch
beeping; the beeping looks like a sawtooth pattern. From a deutsch site I
have gathered that for every 15 CDs burned the blacklisted Feurio burns a CD
with the aforementioned beeping inserted randomly into a single track.
So to warn those who have used any published serials, I would advise dumping
the program. I figure Feurio has blacklisted certain well-known serials, but
since a serial-generator generates random VALID serials I imagine those
numbers can't be blacklisted. That I imagine is another work-around other
than http://www.feurio.com/English/Register
It's certainly peculiar that a program which facilitates piracy in terms of
burning countless of copyrighted CDs is so anti-piracy when itself is
pirated. Count the piracy of your own program as Karma.
Piracy protection is one thing but inserting this aurally/electronically
damaging data won't win you
any customers. It might win you a lawsuit.
I'm surprise your droning voice didn't say "Sterben Sie Juden", it might
have been more convincing, you sneaky Hun.

Thats not correct.

Sorry, you havn't read my mail:
There are no "correct" serial-generators for feurio.
Feurio! can detect wheter it is a "real" serial or a serial from a
serial-generator.
The serial (or better: the code) contains many independet sub-codes -
some are checked directly at input, some later.
The serial-generators only produces codes that are pass the first
checks - not the later checks.
You can belive me: I have checked all serial-genertors availbe for
feurio - non have produced totaly correct codes -> the check routine
of feurio! detect the code and puts the illegal copy on the cd.
So: When using codes from serial-generator, you will get THIS problem.
>It's certainly peculiar that a program which facilitates piracy in terms of

IT IS LEGAL TO COPY AUDIO-CD!
>pirated. Count the piracy of your own program as Karma.
If it would be like audio, i would be GLAD.
For AUDIO: a) Copying AUDIO-CDs is legal.
BUT: On EVERY CD-R you pay a little view to a organisation (in
germany: the gema).
This organistation spreads this few to all bands, songwriters etc.
I would be realy gald if it was the same sitation for software:
I would glady give feurio! away for free if i get a part from every
sold cdr.

with burning 30 CDs (if that for every 15 CDs one "illegal copy" comes out
is anywhere near the truth). Using a variable speed playback program to
check quickly for the beeping and your delightful voice, so far not one of
the 30 CDs has your voice on it - I rather miss it ;-)
So unless your honeydewed voice makes its appearance beyond 30 CDs, seems
this serial-generator has muddled the line between a real or fake serial.
