Hackulous, the popular Cydia source is shutting down. Hackulous is known for holding the famous pirated app source, Installous which it is taking down to. In a message posted by Hackulous on it's page it says:
"We are very sad to announce that Hackulous is shutting down. After many years, our community has become stagnant and our forums are a bit of a ghost town. It has become difficult to keep them online and well-moderated, despite the devotion of our staff. We're incredibly thankful for the support we've had over the years and hope that new, greater communities blossom out of our absence."
For sure, also noted by other websites there will rise other sources to fill the gap. The closing of Hackulous will reate the necessary space.
Still today there are many Apple users who prefer to download cracked Apps and seeking to cheat developers for their app fees.
Piracy is a major problem because many developers see themselves forced to remove apps from the AppStore because they cannot run the servers with the revenues generated by legitimate users. Such an example is Hunted Cow which couldn't run the servers any more because piracy reached 90% of it's users and the revenues generated by legitimate sales were minor.
