Crackulous , a platform for hijack apps from the iPhoneApp Store , was just released . Great for cheapskates , terrible for independent developer trying to make a living . Updated : 4:35pm
You ’ll need to jailbreak your phone to get in on the play , obviously , but the integral process seems comparatively simple if you ’re looking to get on board .
However , since many of these apps will need to phone home , they ’ll be letting Apple and the app Maker know exactly who you are and what dirty deeds you ’re charge , right ? There ’s a good probability nothing bad will happen to you , but you probably do n’t want to risk sustain your phone locked down or your history shut off because you ’re too cheap to bear for Fieldrunners . Just give the developer the money they deserve , all right ?
Update : I just had this absolutely ludicrous exchange with the creator of Crackulous . You ca n’t make this shit up .

Adam , you are linking to a pirate version of the app . Please link up to REMOVED ( the official Crackulous site ) instead of supporting the pirates in the crackulous clause . Thanks .

No but I need masses to support my work … I merit appreciation .
Adam Frucci Mon , Feb 2 , 2009 at 4:23 PM
But the people who have legit apps that Craculous will avail pirate
do n’t ? You honestly do n’t see the satire here ?
Crack Ulous Mon , Feb 2 , 2009 at 4:24 PM
Yes .. but Adam , all I ask is that you link to REMOVED in your article because some masses still corrupt and support . Some people in the scene apprise my work . Is it too much to ask ? 🙂
Adam Frucci Mon , Feb 2 , 2009 at 4:34 postmortem examination
No .
snap Ulous Mon , Feb 2 , 2009 at 4:35 PM
Ok if you could please do that I would be very appreciative . Thanks .
Update # 2 : The jackass above was a developer hear to fuck over the masses behind Crackulous . He was n’t the material developer , nor was he a scammer . He made no money from this . Moral of the story is still this : do n’t highjack apps . And this guy is a douche bag .
