I believe the name "dissident" comes from a desire for anonymity (probably a good idea, with what he does). He used to go by "TDDebug", fwiw.
(Insert argument how none of the kids who use Hackulous would ever buy an app anyway, due to lack of funds (or lakc of funds in credit card or iTunes format), or because they are just pirates.)
"I believe the name "dissident" comes from a desire for anonymity"
I'm sure. But it's an absurdly self-flattering and grandiose name. He's not a dissident. He's helping people copy inexpensive apps, that are in no way necessities, that generally cost less than a can of Red Bull, and are mostly from small independent developers.
A more appropriate pseudonym would be Veruca Salt. At least that would capture the pettiness and sense of entitlement.
