Comment on Mac app store hacked, how developers can better protect themselvesparent

Comments

Not all systems, not if you're doing server authentication (itunes account?) / code download every time the app starts (e.g. webapps).

That's why DRM is broken by design.

All it takes is one skilled individual to develop an easy-to-use method for cracking the thing, start a torrent and that's it, millions of people have access to it instantly.

Surely, if the system is server side, then it's not in the hands of the attacker? For webapps, etc. it's not the client side code that's protected, but the server code and data.
