but no, you stil in your little world thinking all is secure, and then get pissed when someone comes in and pisses on your parade.

Some of you pirate software/movies/music and are proud of yourself, but then get all huffy when someone cracks your 'security'. Karma's a bitch huh?
You said it...security will always be a problem. So what is a paysite owner's reaction supposed to be? I'm not surprised by this, but I sure as hell can't afford to spend a ton of money on a security system that is bound to be cracked anyways. There is no solution. Add extra hoops for paying members to jump through & your retention is going to go down & hackers will still find a way in.
