Resource Protection?

[Easton678]

I have just gotten back to MCM after awhile. I am thinking of posting my resources on here but I cannot seem to find any docs about API or Anti-Piracy. I wonder if MCM has such system before I upgrade my account and start selling plugins?

 

[Easton678]

Yeah when we gonna see this

So you mean they don't have it?

Ofc they don’t why would they wanna do something good pfff

That's kinda sad, I mean, you can post resources for free on Spigot and Revenact and they do have some protection... Somehow here it costs $15 to sell something and there is no Anti-Piracy.

Is there even a way to catch the leakers on here?

If they expose themselves yes or else you’re screwed because they’re big bad

Add your own protection in, that's all you can do tbh.

While those two sites do have anti-leaks, discussing other competitors isn’t allowed.

I mean, even leak sites have their own Anti-Releak and we somehow don't have one?

In that case how would you identify who the leaker is though? Sure you can disable a version that got leaked by forcing update, but how are you gonna know who leaked it in the first place? Is there a way we can even view who downloaded the resource or something?

There aren't any safeguards for that. You'd have to handle that yourself. Never said it was a good system, just said what you'd have to do.

I mean, like said above you could always add your own :/ However, a user by the name Ethereal did add a successful anti leak and got banned for it. I personally don’t see how what he did could be worthy of a ban, but it all comes down to the site and staff that deal with it.

I also heard that if your resource is leaked and you pay the leakers to take it down you will also get banned right?

I mean, I have seen Spigot and Revenact having it... injecting the ID is a good idea :/
It is actually dumb to force upgrade on Spigot/Bukkit Plugins, because no one has time to always check if the plugins are running everytime they reboot the server. It's going to cause a lot of problems for legit users :/
And if you can't protect the resource, why are you banning people for trying to take their hardwork off leak sites? I don't get it

As far as I'm aware, Mick plans to add a built in anti-leak system here soon.
"Soon" can mean many things, however.

I mean I am surprised they still don't have it because the forums is 5 years old :/

You'd be better providing more frequent updates then working on an anti-piracy, regardless of how good it is someone will always find a way around it. Or just release it for free.

A recent competing site that opened like 2 months or so ago already had anti leak I don’t understand why this one that has been open for years can’t
