For those wanting to read what the mac underground is saying, you can check the forum out. I was amazed that typing 'mac serial' into google found this so easy!

You'll never can (should) trust that developer nor any product released by him from now on. It seems he has destroyed lots of info and personal data to quite people who tried the banned serial numbers.
Though he has the right to deffend his work against piracy, he has not the right to cause so serial damage to no one, as you have not the right to kill a thief or destroy his home because the thief stole your money (or I believe that; obviously that developer does not believe the same; I hope he will never get any kind of weapon).

Does your friend know that people have a
right to take legal action against him?
Does he realise that what he's done is a
bigger crime than the one he thinks he's
prevented from being perpetrated
against him?
Maybe he should start spending more time
making his applications more secure rather
than making himself a future target for
revenge?
