Avoid illegal distribution of games

Hi all,
I've seen my phone (Sony Ericsson W810i) lists a property of my jar file called "Distribution" with a value of "Unlimited". I was wondering: 1) does it mean I could avoid the file from being copied from the phone to another device? 2) how can I avoid the file to be copied through the USB connection to a PC, sent through bluetooth or infrared connections, etc.?
If the question should not be posted in this forum but in a "wireless devices" kind of forum I'll appreciate you guys tell me that, but if someone has a clue of how to do this it would be wonderful.
Thanks
Mauricio

I posted here because the code was compiled in Microsoft Visual C++ and this person is distributing a debug build, which according to MSDN is non-redistributable and I have confirmed so by looking inside the executable and finding Microsoft debugging
code. If you could direct me to the proper forum if I'm in the wrong place, please let me know.

Challenge on illegal distribution blockage

Hi, everybody.
This post is about a very discussed theme: protecting yor app
from copyright violations.
I have a problem with my client distribution model. It's
about delivering an app that is paid montlhy. The user creates a
username, pay and is allowed to use the app for a month.
The service is based on providing credit informations to a
broad business community. So as users can search private databases
for a month.
I don't want to suggest my client to charge users by each
search. We understand that the better distribution model is already
been practiced for a long time, and change this model is not on our
plans.
Once we're developing an easy-to-download-and-install Adobe
AIR software, the problem is to avoid that users can start sharing
the same username and password, paying just one license for
undetermined ammount of users.
As I said, one of the options is to charge on each search,
what could mean a failure for my client business.
So guys, any suggestions?
Regards,
CaioToOn!

You could implement a subscription service for an AIR
application the same as you would for a web application. I.e. when
the user access your search service, you validate that their
account is up-to-date. Just because AIR is easily downloaded and
installed doesn't change this aspect of the problem, especially
since it sounds like your users must be online to use your service
anyway.
Preventing multiple users from using the same account is also
much the same problem as with a web application in this instance. A
server-side approach might work for this too. If too many requests
are made by the same account from multiple IPs at the same time,
then you have reason to suspect that the terms of your subscription
are being violated.
There are ways to uniquely identify an instance of an AIR
application that could help you control access (e.g. by generating
random token on first use). But if your users typically search from
multiple computers, then it might be inconvenient for them to be
locked down to a single instance. If you chose this route, you
could, of course, allow the subscriber to "authorize" a limited
number of application instances as a way to balance respect for
your license with the convenience of your customers.

Hello, may I ask how to prevent the illegal distribution of video and POST data

setPublishPassword and setPostingPassword Helpful?I do not quite understand, do not use an example. Ideas or examples can you provide a
But those methods are the client, I set him groupspecWithOutAuthorizations, but was illegally set to groupspecWithAuthorizations how to do ah。

Thank you very much Michael.I generate the groupspecWithAuthorizations in FMS.like this
function getSpec()
var spec=new GroupSpecifier("my-group");
spec.postingEnabled = true;
spec.serverChannelEnabled = true;
spec.multicastEnabled=true;
spec.routingEnabled=true;
spec.setPostingPassword("aa");
return spec.groupspecWithAuthorizations();
client call:
var specResponder:Responder=new Responder(setGroup);
nc.call("getSpec",specResponder);
However, hackers can still get to groupspecWithAuthorizations, then he can be destroyed

To Avoid illegal copies

I have jus finished my project, I am thinking on selling it; the problem is that (obviously) I dont want to somebody makes illegal copies of it.
I was thinking in checking the mac address so, it will only work in one machine with a specific NIC. But, what if somebody get the classes that are in my jar file and use it; how I can get all my project in one class so no one can read it, or make some use of it.
Could somebdoy give me some tips, or where to get info about how to protect java software?

Try obfuscating your Java bytecode, using an Java obfuscation tool. Just search online for Java obfuscation tools, and you'll find quite a few. I believe Sun used Dash-O to obfuscate their JCE code.

How to avoid illegal state exception in jsp/servlets

Hi,
Am working on jsps and servlets ,some times am getting Illegalstateexception,in what situations we will get this exception,can any one tell clearly about this exception..
mani

Since there's no other real supporting information you have out there, I can only take a wild stab at this...
My guess is that you're trying to invoke methods on the server with your jsp code that isn't allowed. For example, I often work with a PDM software that will throw Illegalstateexceptions when I try to modify objects in the system that are not checked out. More than a java thing, this might be an issue with the servlets you're using. If your servlet is being provided by a vendor, you might want to check up on their API for more information about such an error occuring, or consult their technical support, if such a group exists.
If this is your own servlet, I would suggest making sure that the methods you're trying to invoke are available for the servlet to invoke, which would also cause that exception.

How to avoid Illegal State Exception?

Im using struts and develop in J2EE. My action class calls the ejb and returns to the actionClass and then to the jsp. This works once and the second time , i get IllegalStateException. But without recompiling when i restart ,my jboss and preform the previous activity , it works fine!!

CO Distribution KSV5

Hi,
I have created a cycle in KSV5 the restriction sender values are too high.
I want the system to take all cots/revenues CElm in a group (B) within a CCtr group (A), with a variable portion of CElm group (E), (these CElm are all included in group B).
Distribute the fixed amount of X, Y and Z SEK of CCtr 1, 2, and 3 which are included in group A to receiver, to CCtr group (F).
I have entered the following:
1) Iterative cycle
2) Segment 1;
a) Sender rule: Fixed amount, 100%, act values.
b) Receiver tracing factor: Variable portion, actual cost, no scaling.
c) The base for senders: are Cost Center (CCtr in group (A)), Cost Element (CElm in group (B))
d) The base for receiver is (Group CCtr (F))
e) Sender values: is X ,Y and Z SEK from sender CCtr 1, 2 and 3 included in CCtr group A( the rest of the CCTR 0 SEK).
f) Receiver tracing faction, actual from CElm group (E), CElm included in CElm group (B).
g) Receiver weight factor is set to 100 for the receiving CCtrs.
As I result I want the system to distribute amount X, Y and Z , portioned by CCElm group (E), but it takes amount X, Y and Z and credit all CElm in group (B) even if there are no postings on them in CCtrs 1, 2 and 3. (The weighting and the sender and receiver CCtr are OK.
Thankfully for any help.
BR

ELIBJU,
I can not see any difference between your expectation and system works. The system just followed your expectation to distribute the fixed amount X, Y, Z by crediting all CElm in group B. What is your question?
If what you concern is the sender value too high only. Use assessment instead to avoid 'duplicate' distribution by each CElm in group B which is SAP style.

How to resolve illegal cross join error

Can someone please tell me how can we avoid illegal cross join error in modeling? If someone has any reference document , please share it.
I have 5 tables - Dim (A, B , C,E) and Fact( D). C is lookup table which is used to resolve the lookup code column in table E.
The relationships between these are
A--< B--< E >--C
& A--<D
My requirement is i have to expose Attributes of A,B ,C & E within Dimension.
These attributes (from B,C,E) will be treated as property of A.
Someone may query these attributes without selecting any column from fact table.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
it's not the first time you come up with this kind of question and I'm wondering if you understand the principle of granularity when I read your questions.
On physical level, a fact table must always join with the lowest level of detail of your dimension table. Let me explain, by giving an example which looks like your situation.
Assume I have three tables:
Table "E" contains products, which has attributes like: product_id and product_name
Table "B" contains order line items, which has attributes like: order_line_item_id, order_id and product_id.
Table "A" contains orders, which has attributes like: order_id and customer_name.
Table "D" contains facts ("metrical data") about my order: which has attributes like: order_id, order_revenue.
This will be the diagram on physical level: E--<B--<A--<D
Here are my joins: E.product_id on B.produc_id, B.order_id on A.order_id, A.order_id--<D.order_id
Now, my question to you is: will I be able to get the revenue of a certain product?
The answer is: No, because I don't know what part of my order is spent on a certain product. The problem is thus that the data in the fact table isn't stored on that level of detail, or in other words the fact and dimension table don't share the same level of granularity.
How it should be:
If you want to get the revenue per product, you will need to have a second fact table "G", which has data which is stored on order line item level. This table contains the following attributes: order_line_item_id, product_id and order_line_item_revenue.
This will become your diagram on physical level:
B--<G>--E
Joins: B.order_line_item_id on G.order_line_item_id and E.product_id on G.product_id
Table E has become a dimension of fact table G.
The first physical diagram should look like this:
A--<D
If you want you can model both physical diagrams into one logical diagram, assuming that A and D (order dimension and fact table) are aggregates of B and G (order line items dimension and fact table). In that case you should read this blog item: http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/11/obiee-making-it-aggregate-aware.html

Is it safe to download and play games

is it safe to download and play games? (minecraft,sims)

You can download games from the web that cannot be purchased or downloaded from the Mac App Store as long as they are Gatekeeper-approved apps (apps that are trusted by Apple). If you download a game that isn't approved by Gatekeeper, it is a little risky. However, if you download the game from a well-known source like EA online or through the EA Origin software, it is perfectly okay. Also, for games like Minecraft, it is okay, as long as you downlaod them from the correct source. For Minecraft, just buy it from Minecraft.net and download it like you are supposed to. Why would it not be safe? If you are not illegally downloading the games from websites like The Pirate Bay, and you are actually buying the game like you are supposed to, you should be okay. For more information on Gatekeeper, visit the links I've included below.

Live video capture/log? (filming football games)

Filming football games over the weekend has been pain-free and enjoyable. What I need to find a solution to is the bulk of editing I have after the games which could be easily solved if I could avoid having to capture and log plays AFTER the games and instead handle it DURING the games. Here is my general workflow:
Film game from two angles (sideline and endzone)
Capture video from both cameras (each tape is about 40 minutes of real-time capture)
Using a football software editing demo, which does not allow for live capturing, I then catalog each play as either OFFENSE, DEFENSE, or KICK. I then put all of the O,D,K plays together with one another and burn to a DVD for coach in which there are three chapters: O,D, and K.
This is relatively easy but I need some advice people! How can I run a live capture, preferably from BOTH cameras which are pretty far away from each other, which would allow me to log each play? There's tons of software out there that claim to do it but I'm not comfortable dropping thousands of dollars on their software; especially since I do not know if it works the way I want it and because I already have CS3 Master Collection.
I am hoping there's a way to run the sideline camera straight into the laptop and then the sideline camera straight into an external hard drive (or get really fancy and run it wirelessly) so that I can simply copy and paste the 2nd camera's footage to my laptop.
It's a pretty easy process but I'd love to be able to avoid capturing after the game and spending hours logging when I could easily have paid assistants handle the filming while I log the plays live.
www.webbelectronics.com is the site we are using some demo software from FYI. Thanks everyone!

Tricaster wont do what we're looking to do although I do like Tricaster!
Ok, will one of these harddrives allow me to capture video to it from a handheld camcorder live?
http://www.buy.com/cat/firewire_hard_drives/450.html
If I can find one that will, and get the software to run the other camera to into the laptop, this will cut down and nearly eliminate capture times!

Does MediaSource and the zen xtra support secure WMA fil

I bought a CD that uses some encryption utilities from a company called sunncomm (real blockheads @ that company, from the tech support to the VP by the way) It would seem that I'm able to download the "digital keys" from their web site however I get the message "license required" when I try to copy the songs to my zen extra using mediasource.
Anyone ever had experience with this?
....and for the record I would not recommend buying any CD's that are using this company's (sunncomm)system, or anything from RCA records. In their effort to thwart illegal distribution the two have decided to punish those of us who legally purchase their products and simply want to listen to it in our preferred format and on our preferred players. I really don't listen to anything on CD anymore, as my CD's just get loaded onto my player, in fact I'd taken the CD player out of my car all together and the zen is the only thing that gets played there. Without the ability to transfer the songs from CD to my player what I wind up with is a fifteen dollar coaster

The CD is Contraband from Velvet Revolver. It's released on the RCA label under BMG music. The name of the company that delevloped and runs the protection software is SunnComm. I'm working on a list of other titles and artists that have this installed on their releases well. CL product users may find that useful as a list of titles to avoid.
The thing that is really bothersome is that nowhere on the CD did it indicate this protection was there when I bought it. Only when I popped it into my PC did it become evident. This as it turns out would have been a bit different if I owned an ipod, as since ipod has it's issues with WMA files to begin with they don't even pretend to support anything related to ipod. While that's a move that I'm sure CL thinks is just fine, it's seems like a bit of a bonehead move for the record company. What really irks me about sunn comm it they are quite frankly lying about what their product does, it does NOT allow someone who has legally bought a music release to listen to that release on a digital player like they it does ... which as a consumer is a right I expect to have when I purchase music in any format. I've spoke with several people at sunn comm and they are of no help and obviously do not care about any issues a consumer has with their product. I'm also in contact with RCA and BMG about this mistake they are making in not properly informing consumers about what their product actually is. I'm not a music pirate, I bought their release intending it only for my own personal use, but they have turned the simple act of buying music in to a week long Odyssey and headache. No one at Sunn Comm or BMG seems to understand that which does not bode well for for either company or industry.

Step by Step guide for upload iPad only apps

Please note that this is not derived from me alone.
This Knowledge is derived from three forum members, DutyFarm, ChoosingNameCanBeSoXXX & Dei_Machiavelli.
I just add the solution for generate the .xcent file.
[Atleast enough for me to make it work.]
Welcome that if anyone find that this step by step guide not detail enough, you can copy and add more points and post again.
Step 1:
Make sure that all the Icons for the iPad are accounted for because if you don't, Application Loader will Scream
[For some strange reason, you have to add the Old iPhone Icon Size as well]:
                         Old iPhone: 57 by 57 [Icon]
             Start Up Icon for iPad: 72 by 72 [Icon-iPad.png].
SpotLight Search for iPad Must Have: 48 by 48 [Icon-iPad-spot.png]
Step 2:
Load the Mac, unzip your *.ipa file, place the *.app file on your desktop and modify its internal Info.plist file.
Change 3.0 to 3.2 here:
<key>MinimumOSVersion</key>
<string>3.2</string>
Step 3:
Because after you change the Info.plist file by your own way, the file will changed to wrong codesign.
So that will need this step to change it back to right codesign which can success upload to apple store.
Create this weird NameOfYourApp.xcent file on your desktop:
That strange 10 digit is the App ID:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>application-identifier</key>
    <string>APP_ID_Letters_&_NUMBER_HERE.com.whatever.YourAppName</string >
    <key>get-task-allow</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Step 4:
Now Type this in Terminal:
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name" "--resource-rules=/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app/ResourceRules.pl ist" --entitlements "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.xcent" "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app"
iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name << This you can check back at your Cert in Keychain.
/Users/ABC/Desktop/ : here is assume that your username in you Mac OS is ABC. But more easily, you can put all the file at any path you want.
I just put all files at the iPad folder at system disk root. so that the path just /iPad/ .
OK, if no error come out, congrats that you are done. You can upload the app by Application Loader. (Assume that you know what is it, and need to zip you .ipa before upload)
BUT, LIKE ME and some member here, we see two error after the Step 4 command as below:
/Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: unrecognized blob type (accepting blindly)
/Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: invalid length in entitlement blob
After few night try..... finally I found out the solution and just successfully submit the iPad App!!!
The main problem was we used a wrong method to create that stupid MyApp.xcent file!!!!
I used many many method, use Mac text editor, Window notepad, Mac/ Window Dreamweaver as .xml......
but all facing the strange "invalid length in entitlement blob"
why invalid length?!?! so I try to search for what is .xcent..... finally I found the following webpage
http://www.246tnt.com/iPhone/
it's talk about codesign and entitlement files.
then..... I FOUND .xcent NOT ONLY A SAMLPE TEXT FILE!!!!!
in the middle of the link above, there are a highlighted simple script , which is a python script to help us generate a .xcent entitlement file!!!!!
Here is step by step solution to solve this error:
1) just download the .py file here: simple script
2) put the .py file anywhere you like, or just simply put in the root of you mac
3) turn on the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), goto the folder where you put the .py
4) TYPE: python gen_entitlements.py 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp myApp.xcent
    Where 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp is your AppID with BundleID,
    myApp.xcent is the file will be generate to you
5) Finally you can see the .xcent which make me nearly crazy for a week!!!!!!!!
6) Use this .xcent file to run that codesign script (Step 4 above)
7) Congratulation the codesign changed and you can zip your app and upload it
I have spent many hours for this simple stuff.........so sad........>.<
Hope this post can help all guys who still mad on this error when trying to upload a iPad only apps.
Good luck!!

I think I followed everything very closely, but I am getting these errors when trying to run the codesign script
here is my script command:
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Nethercottage Games, LLC" "--resource-rules=/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/ResourceRules.plist" --entitlements "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.xcent" "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app"
Here is the error I get:
/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: replacing invalid existing signature
codesign_allocate: object: /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/book1 malformed object (unknown load command 9)
/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: object file format invalid or unsuitable
Any help on this please?

Cannot sync music without losing my purchases. Very frustrated. Is there a solution?

I would give apple a negative one-hundred out of five at this very moment. Ugh. Okay, so a while ago, I left my ipod in the possession of my friend while I was away, and she synced it to another itunes account. Let's call that account A. I got it back about four months ago, and synced it with a DIFFERENT account, erasing everything that was on it. Let's call that account B. Since then, I have made several music purchases that are currently on my ipod. Now, a couple weeks ago, my computer totally crashed and was unable to be repaired. We just got a new one and I re-installed itunes. Let's call that account C. I put a recording (mp3 file) in the new itunes (account C) and attempted to sync with my ipod so I would be able to listen to it. It then proceeded to tell my ipod cannot be synced to two accounts at once. Now, normally this wouldn't surprise me, but the name it listed that my ipod was CURRENTLY connected to was my FRIEND'S account (account A!!) What in the WORLD?? I got rid of that a long time ago! Not only that, but it will not let me keep my current purchases on my ipod- I have to erase them if I wanted to sync to account C. Oh heck no, I paid money for those! I mean, really? It will not let me put those files on itunes account C at all, nor will it let me transfer those files onto my computer so I can transfer them back to the ipod after I sync accounts. I understand it was probably set up this way to prevent illegal distribution, but didn't they consider people who's computers crash? Is there any way to keep my music without doing something illegal? I have googled solutions for this but they are all on outdated versions of itunes (so they will not work with mine) or the solution is illegal. I would much appreciate any solutions you guys have

How To Display My HTML5 on iPad from My PC

I have a program that states the it converts from MS PPT to HTML5 for iPad. It generated 1 .html file and a folder.
I am very new to iPad, and how do I transfer the file and folder to lmy iPad.
I also have a iTone directory downloaded to my PC, but I not sure what to do.
Do I transfer my html file and folder to the iTone directory under Video ??? (because it plays video).
I would appreciate any suggestion you may offer. I don't have access to a server that will download this for me. Any suggestions.
Thank You,
G

The iPad doesn't have folders per se (it does, but they are never exposed to the user).
Safari is the web browser, and HTML5 is basically a "web page". It's not a video format. HTML5 has a video tag, but the video is not HMTL5 video, it's whatever format the video is in.
You cannot put HTML5 onto the iPad directly. You can view it using the built-in web browser (Safari) which is going to have to download it from a network. As it turns out, Apple has provided a mechanism to create file on a website that lists all of the files the site uses, and with that, copy the files to your iOS device and make an icon on your home screen. To do that, you'll need to create the file and alter the starting page. See here for some documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/Safa riJSDatabaseGuide/OfflineApplicationCache/OfflineApplicationCache.html
Once you've added the approrpriate headers and created the necessary manifest file, you can then browse your HTML5 (yes, you will need a web server running on your computer - this won't work using the sync cable) page using the browser, and click the "Send" button in the browser (box with an arrow arcing out of it) and select "Add to Home Screen". Note that are limits on how much data can be stored in the offline cache.
That said, a couple of things: its not illegal distribution of your material if you authorize it. If you put your file on a service (a web host) to retrieve it later, then it's not illegal distribution. Moreover, you could password protect the directory where you store it such that only authorized persons could see it.
If you still prefer not to do that, however, by far the EASIEST thing to do is skip HTML5 altogether. If you aren't going to publicly share the presentation to a wider audience through their browsers, then it's an unnecessary step. The iOS app Documents2Go allows you to put your Powerpoint presentations directly in the Documents2Go data folder and present them - without translation. Keep in mind that not 100% of the features of Powerpoint are supported, but more so than your HTML5 translation.
If you are using a Mac, then Apple's Keynote application (for iOS and OS X) is an even a better choice. They sync through Apple's iCloud service and work really well - even allowing for previews and presenter notes (something you wouldn't have if mirroring your web browser).

Why is my iMac running extremely slowly??

My mid-2010 iMac has been running excrutiatingly slowly over the past few months, with the spinning beachball popping up any time I click on anything at all. I started in SafeMode and the problem disappears, leading me to believe it might be a software issue. I've turned off all startup/login processes but am still having the same problem. I downloaded EtreCheck and the results are below -- can anyone give me any insights?

Thank you for posting the report, my best guess is due to the unnecessary
com.avast.PacketForwarder (1.3 - SDK 10.8)
com.avast.AvastFileShield (2.0.0 - SDK 10.8)
that you have installed. Please follow the developers instruction for uninstalling Avast and I'm willing to bet your performance will return. Not only is antivirus software for OS X unnecessary it takes up valualble system resources, tends to create more problems that it solves and hurt the overall performance. The best solution for keeping your system safe from the extremely small amount of Malware out there is to use a small amount of common sense. First is keep your system up-to-date by running Software Update regularly, do not download anyting that says you MUST download it and avoid illegal torrent sites.

Avoid illegal distribution of games
