// SERVICE FILE · SVC-05 · SOFTWARE PIRACY PROTECTION

Stop your software from being cracked, repacked, and reposted.

Your SaaS app, WordPress plugin, mobile game, or desktop tool is on a crack site right now — nulled, keygenned, and repackaged with someone else’s ads baked in. Most anti-piracy services approach this at enterprise scale with enterprise pricing. We approach it as a per-founder problem: $89/mo, unlimited takedowns, no contracts, start today.

It starts with one purchased license.

Software piracy doesn’t require a hack. Someone buys a legitimate license, reverse-engineers the activation mechanism (or just shares the key), and uploads the cracked build to a nulled forum. Within 24 hours, automated scrapers repost it across half a dozen crack sites, APK mirrors, and torrent indexes. The pirate is a customer. DRM slows them down; it doesn’t stop them. The only defense that actually works long-term is finding the cracked copies after they surface and removing them faster than they spread.

02 / 04

Crack sites and nulled forums are the primary distribution layer.

Nulled.to, cracked.to, and dozens of smaller forums are purpose-built ecosystems for distributing cracked commercial software. WordPress plugins and themes have their own dedicated nulled forums where every premium plugin on CodeCanyon gets uploaded within days of a major release. These forums run on advertising revenue from the traffic your software generates — they have zero incentive to comply with takedown requests voluntarily. Effective enforcement means filing with their hosts, registrars, and CDNs in parallel until the post drops.

03 / 04

APK mirrors and mod sites are the mobile front.

For mobile apps and games, cracked APKs show up on piracy mirrors (APKPure clones, mod-APK sites) and get indexed by Google within hours. The APK is your app with the license check stripped out, ads replaced with the pirate’s ad network, or in-app purchases bypassed entirely. These sites serve millions of downloads per month and rank well for “{your app name} free APK” queries. De-indexing them from search engines is as important as getting the APK itself removed — most users find pirated APKs through Google, not through the piracy site directly.

04 / 04

GitHub source-code leaks and Discord trading servers close the loop.

For SaaS products and open-core projects, source-code leaks on GitHub (public repos containing your proprietary code) are a growing problem. For desktop and mobile software, Discord servers and Telegram channels trade cracked builds, keygens, and license keys in real time. These two surfaces are the hardest for automated tools to cover — GitHub requires DMCA takedown notices in a specific legal format, and Discord/Telegram require manual filing with each platform’s Trust & Safety team. Most anti-piracy services skip both.

§ 03 · Coverage

Every surface where cracked software actually lives.

Named platforms, grouped by piracy type. Not a generic “we monitor the internet” claim.

01

Crack sites & nulled forums

The primary distribution layer for cracked commercial software. Each forum has its own hosting stack — we file with the site, host, registrar, and CDN in parallel.

§ 04 · Inside a takedown

What actually happens in the first 48 hours.

The real log of how a software piracy takedown runs — not a marketing flowchart.

  1. T + 00:00

    Intake & piracy inventory

    You send us your software name, version identifiers, distribution URLs (your legitimate store pages), and any piracy links you’ve already found. Our intake team verifies your ownership, runs a sweep across every crack site, nulled forum, APK mirror, torrent index, and code-hosting platform we monitor, and builds a complete piracy inventory. Most founders are surprised by how many surfaces their software has already been reposted to.

  2. T + 00:30

    Evidence packets per surface

    Crack sites want one evidence format. GitHub’s DMCA process has its own specific legal requirements. APK mirrors respond to different notice structures than nulled forums. Discord Trust & Safety requires a different packet from Telegram. Our operators build each filing to the specific platform’s actual spec — not a cross-posted template that gets bounced as insufficient.

  3. T + 01:30

    Parallel filings dispatched

    Every crack site, nulled forum, APK mirror, torrent indexer, filehost, code-hosting platform, and search engine — filed the same day, not staged over a week. Parallel dispatch beats the re-upload loop, where pirates respond to a single takedown by reposting to three other surfaces within hours.

  4. T + 06:00

    First crack-site confirmations

    Hosting providers and registrars behind compliant crack sites return takedown confirmations within 6–12 hours on clean filings. GitHub processes DMCA notices within 24 hours. Non-compliant sites get escalated through their entire hosting stack — host, registrar, CDN, and (when applicable) payment processor.

  5. T + 24:00

    Search-engine delisting confirmed

    Google, Bing, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo de-index the crack and nulled URLs. The pages that were ranking for “{your software} free download” and “{your plugin} nulled” start dropping out of search results — the single highest-leverage action in any software anti-piracy job.

  6. T + 48:00

    Coverage sweep & escalation

    We re-scan every surface to confirm no residual pirated copies remain. Anything still up gets escalated to the next layer in the hosting chain. Stubborn crack-site posts get re-filed every time the content reappears. If we miss the 48-hour mark on an in-scope takedown, your next month is free.

  7. Ongoing

    Continuous monitoring & re-removal

    Software monitoring stays active for the life of your plan. Every new cracked upload, nulled repost, or APK re-mirror we detect triggers a fresh takedown automatically across every surface. No per-takedown charges, no monthly limits. New versions of your software get pirated fast — continuous enforcement is the only thing that keeps up.

§ 05 · What’s included

A full software anti-piracy arsenal.

Every piracy surface software creators actually deal with — covered by one agency, one plan, one price.

Crack site & nulled forum takedowns

Nulled.to, cracked.to, CodeCanyon nulled mirrors, ThemeForest nulled mirrors, and the long tail of warez forums. Filings go to the site, its host, its registrar, and its CDN in parallel — not just a single-layer notice.

APK piracy mirror removals

Cracked APKs with license checks stripped, ads swapped, and in-app purchases bypassed. We file with the mirror site and with every search engine indexing the pirated APK so it stops showing up for “{your app} free APK” queries.

GitHub source-code leak takedowns

Public repos containing your proprietary source code, API keys, or full commercial codebases. DMCA notices filed in GitHub’s specific legal format — the format their legal team actually processes, not a generic template.

WordPress plugin & theme protection

Nulled plugin/theme forums are their own ecosystem — every premium WordPress product on CodeCanyon and ThemeForest ends up there. We file against every nulled copy across every forum and mirror, and keep scanning as new versions of your plugin get pirated.

Multi-engine search delisting

Google, Bing, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo de-indexing. Crack pages ranking for “{your software} nulled” or “{your app} crack” drop out of search results so your legitimate download page gets its organic traffic back.

Continuous monitoring & re-removal

Pirates repost faster than you can file. Our monitoring catches every new upload, crack, and nulled repost on the next sweep and fires fresh notices automatically. No per-takedown fees, no monthly limits, no “we only file once” fine print.

§ 06 · Why software creators pick us

The three things that matter — and what enterprise anti-piracy services get wrong.

POINT 01 / 03

Per-founder pricing — not enterprise contracts.

Red Points and Bolster AI approach software piracy at enterprise scale with enterprise pricing — five-figure annual contracts, multi-month onboarding, minimum seat counts. That model works for Adobe. It doesn’t work for an indie SaaS founder whose WordPress plugin just showed up on nulled.to. We run software anti-piracy the same way we run everything: subscription-priced, month-to-month, cancel anytime. $89/mo, unlimited takedowns, every surface covered. No contracts, no “contact sales,” start today.

Basic plan starts at $89/mo. Month-to-month. No enterprise contracts, no setup fees.
POINT 02 / 03

Deep reach — crack sites, APK mirrors, GitHub, Discord.

Most anti-piracy services file with Google and call it done. That leaves the actual piracy infrastructure — the crack sites, the nulled forums, the APK mirrors, the Discord trading servers, the GitHub source-code leaks — completely untouched. We file across every layer: the distribution site, its hosting provider, its registrar, its CDN, and every search engine indexing the page. A takedown that only removes the Google listing but leaves the crack site up is like locking the front door and leaving the windows open.

On a typical software takedown we file with 10–20 separate targets — not the 2–3 most automated tools touch.
POINT 03 / 03

Human investigators — not just keyword crawlers.

Automated piracy scanners find the obvious hits — your exact software name on a known crack site. They miss the nulled forum post using a slightly different product name, the APK mirror hosting your app under a generic filename, the Discord server trading your license keys in a private channel, or the GitHub repo with your source code buried under someone else’s username. Our investigators work every surface manually, find the piracy automation misses, and build the evidence packets each platform requires.

Every crack-site, GitHub, and Discord filing is built and reviewed by a human investigator before dispatch.
