I have just discovered that my application has been cracked. I want to
modify my code. If my app detectes that it has been cracked because some
variables are turned on but some other are still off (impossible when
properly registered), I show a dialog to the user saying that this program
has been cracked and if he continues the program will delete all the files
from the disk. The dialog has 2 buttons: Quit (predefined) and Continue. If
the user presses Quit, the application quits, but if he presses the button
Continue, my application really deletes all the files from the disk?

Imagine you come home to find your front door open. You must have been burgled! And the lock seems to be undamaged, so it must have been your next door neighbour because you left a key with him. You give him a chance to own up to it, but he says he didn't do anything, so you kill his entire family.


Do you consider this behaviour to be reasonable?

P.S. What is the name of your application, so that I can avoid it like the plague?
