There are cracks/keygens running around for my app as well. It's
been like that for about 2 years. At first I felt robbed and got
really concerned about it. I'd release a new build every week with
small code changes just so the checksum would fail for the current
cracks. Keygens don't really work since my app queries my server to
validate the activation key.
After I while I became less concerned about it to the point that I
don't even bother any more. I do try to make things harder for them
but you can't stop people from hacking your app unfortunately. On
the other hand, it's kinda flattering to see that some people like
your app enough to spend time to crack it!

I think the funniest thing I ever read on the internet was a
Macintosh zealot waxing philosophical
about how Mac users would always buy great Mac software, supporting
the Mac platform (ad nauseum).
In reality, piracy on the Mac is much worse than Windows, because in
the Windows world, you have
the corporate accounts that pay for licenses as a matter of corporate
policy.
And, true to form, piracy on the Mac is much better organized (user
friendly!) than Windows.
Anyone who's ever seen the SurferSerialz database will know exactly
what I'm talking about.
I recently had a customer who was submitting bogus license data to
our activation server
and then emailing me to complain about all the activation keys he was
getting in his inbox.
