The crakcer's arguement is flawed not on basis of price but reasoning: yes many applications are garbage and the description doesn't do justice to how the program really will work, but by cracking the game he has made himself judge and jury as to whether or not it really is good, deciding for everyone. There are independent review sites and user ratings for this sort of thing, yes user ratings can be flawed so then hit the review sites. Does the cracker really believe he is right in deciding for everyone if the game is good or not, and he has the right to make it freely distributable therefor?
Also, in the case of the game he cracked, the description and title both state its a wack-a-mole. I've played the game, and the description is actually pretty spot on. I can image a car buyer reading about a car with four wheels, carpet, a drivetrain and a method of steering and stopping, and a notice that says this is all there is to the car, and then the buyer saying "well, it doesn't tell me everything, I should steal it to see if it is exactly as they say!" My response to any such person who'd make that statement would be as follows: "Dumbass, your mother must be ashamed."
Thats exactly what I feel toward the hacker at the moment. Oh, and to the Croatian who somehow tried to justify the hacker: the iPhone costs several hundred Euros in Europe, so you do really expect us to believe that someone who could afford the phone in the first place really would care about $1 applications? Secondly, who's fault is it that a consumer bought 100 applications, the developers or the buyer? Those descriptions are called advertising, advertising is made so idiots will throw money on a product. There is no consumer protection device possible that protects a consumer who is a royal dumbass in all aspects of life. I'm reminded of a customer I had once, I told him that Compact Flourescent lighbulbs consume less energy than incandescent, and the only real draw back was they could be brighter and they had Mercury in them. A week later he came into the store mad as can be because I hadn't told him Mercury was harmful.
