Software-Piraterie in den 80er und 90er Jahren. Das zweite Buch der CRACKERS-Reihe. Digitale Visionen und Copypartys, Intrigen und Industriespionage, Diskettenhändler und Piraten. Elitismus, Flucht und Verfolgung: Das geheimnisvolle Leben der Cracker und ihre Szene-Organisationen prägten das Computerzeitalter.

Zero-Day-Warez und 101%-Cracks mit "++ Trainer" sind der goldene Standard unter den C64-Crackern. Anfang der 1990er Jahre organisierten sich die Software-Piraten und die Underground-Szene wuchs zu einem weltweiten Vertriebsnetz. Uploads und Downloads wurden zum Tagesgeschäft.

Die BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) wurden zu den Vertriebszentren, zu den Software-Goldgruben. Und als die Konsolenspiele kopierbar wurden, witterten einige eine Geschäftsmöglichkeit. Aber wie kamen die jugendlichen Cracker mit dem fernöstlichen Schwarzmarkt zurecht? Und was führte zur vielleicht größten europäischen Piraterie-Razzia der 1990er Jahre? Welche Rolle spielten amerikanische Telefonkarten? Und wie gelang es den Gruppen, ihre Cracks über den öffentlichen Handel zu verbreiten?

Simple, reliable, and very comfortable to use
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
This keyboard is exactly what I was looking for. Setup was quick and easy, and the Bluetooth connection has been stable with no lag or dropouts. The keys are comfortable and quiet, making it great for everyday typing at home or in the office. I really like having the full numpad while still keeping a relatively compact size. The keyboard feels sturdy, and the spill-resistant design gives some peace of mind. Battery life has been excellent so far, and it works smoothly across both Windows and Mac. Overall, it’s a solid, no-frills keyboard that does its job well. Great quality and performance for the price.

Feels cheap, but hard to complain at this price
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard, Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
This keyboard definitely looks and feels very budget, and the plastic construction makes that obvious right away. The whole board has a strong plastic feel, and if you twist it even a little bit, you can hear the frame making plastic creaking noises. It doesn’t exactly feel sturdy or premium. The key feel is also pretty mediocre. The keys feel a bit mushy and not very satisfying to type on. If you’re used to better keyboards or mechanical ones, the typing experience here will probably feel pretty underwhelming. That said, I can’t be too harsh on it. This is a very cheap keyboard, and for the price it does the basic job. It connects easily over Bluetooth with no lag, and it even comes with the AAA batteries included. So it’s still a decent value for a simple everyday keyboard. Four stars feels fair for what it is.

As long as longevity isn’t required
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
Love this keyboard, I chose the ProtoArc EM11 NL Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse to go with it. Could not be more pleased with quality and heft of the keyboard specially at the price point. Whisper silent and easy to pair. Excellent choice. ******UPDATED****** Had to come back and downgrade to 1 star. Keyboard quit on me after 3 months. Phantom keystrokes, like I was holding down one letter. It was a slow burn until I couldn’t take it anymore. Thought it was a one off. Replaced the batteries etc. If you just need something for a month or so while waiting or saving for something better, go for it. Totally fits the ‘you get what you pay for’ idiom.

Great Keyboard
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
I bought the keyboard only, because I already had the bluetooth mouse. This is a very good keyboard. I was concerned when ordering that the keys maybe be mushy without having seen a display, but I've not found them to be so at all. The keys do not click loudly like every other keyboard I've ever used, but the keys are every bit responsiveness and snap like others. After using it a couple hours, I don't really notice the lack of clicking . . . and found it actually does have its own distinct muffled sound.
