Apple Thoughts: Pirating App Pirated; Ironic Tag Quits

"Crackulous was developed at Hackulo.us, a donation-supported forum dedicated to, well, stealing software. There's really no way to put a good spin on it. Crackulous is the brainchild of iPhone pirate Salad Fork, who notoriously called an early leak of his software "absolutely disgusting and downright insulting." Back in November, Mr. Fork became outraged when his pirating software was pirated and released without his consent or control. Today, he must be experiencing another wave of stress: the otherwise free Crackulous software has already been repirated and is being sold for ten bucks a pop in a new wave of poetic justice."

Wow. A piece of software designed for pirating gets pirated and the pirating software developer is annoyed that his app got pirated. It's this kind of utter insanity that makes the world go 'round, kids. This is as obviously hysterical as a car thief whose car gets stolen right off his own driveway. I won't ask the obvious question here, but instead I'll ask if you know anyone who's pirating apps for the iPhone? I'm not talking about stuff like Cydia; that stuff is legit in the sense that it isn't hacked or cracked software, but more like what these folks are doing.
