Software-Piraterie in den 80er und 90er Jahren. Das zweite Buch der CRACKERS-Reihe. Digitale Visionen und Copypartys, Intrigen und Industriespionage, Diskettenhändler und Piraten. Elitismus, Flucht und Verfolgung: Das geheimnisvolle Leben der Cracker und ihre Szene-Organisationen prägten das Computerzeitalter.

Zero-Day-Warez und 101%-Cracks mit "++ Trainer" sind der goldene Standard unter den C64-Crackern. Anfang der 1990er Jahre organisierten sich die Software-Piraten und die Underground-Szene wuchs zu einem weltweiten Vertriebsnetz. Uploads und Downloads wurden zum Tagesgeschäft.

Die BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) wurden zu den Vertriebszentren, zu den Software-Goldgruben. Und als die Konsolenspiele kopierbar wurden, witterten einige eine Geschäftsmöglichkeit. Aber wie kamen die jugendlichen Cracker mit dem fernöstlichen Schwarzmarkt zurecht? Und was führte zur vielleicht größten europäischen Piraterie-Razzia der 1990er Jahre? Welche Rolle spielten amerikanische Telefonkarten? Und wie gelang es den Gruppen, ihre Cracks über den öffentlichen Handel zu verbreiten?

I wouldn’t recommend this for strong chewers.
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Is it fun? Sure. Was it easy to charge and set up? Yep. That being said, this toy kind of fell flat for me. It really didn’t do any big movements once charged that I expected it to, so that was a bummer. I initially got it for my dog, but my cats were more interested in this than my dog was. The battery does seem to last a long time and the motor is pretty quiet. I WOULD NOT recommend this toy for strong chewers as the material for this is a foam rubber and I don’t think it’s durable enough for strong chewers. While the material makes this ball extremely lightweight for more movement, a strong chewer would have this disintegrated in five minutes flat. My Dog is a super strong chewer. I don’t think I would feel comfortable leaving him unattended with this because I know he would destroy it.

Well-designed and quiet, but didn’t keep my dog interested
Color: Blue
My dog was interested in this at first, but she would lose interest after a few minutes and move on. I do like that it’s quieter than the hard plastic ball toys, and the charge lasts well. The internal charging port that twists closed is also a nice design feature. That said, it will occasionally turn on by itself, which can be a little surprising. Overall, it has some nice features, but it just didn’t keep my dog engaged.

Good - for a few hours
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Concept is fantastic. Dog loved it. Problem is that she figured out how to open it within two hours of play. The robot core, alas, did not survive. In the photo, you see a tooth went cleanly into the button and that was the end of the toy.
