Dosn’t any one find it funny that beejive sends you to a copy-written movie clip on youtube to perpetuate thier office space joke. I mean there kinda committing infringement while trying to protect there own product. I guess in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

[...] MobileCrunch reports that the “problem” was BeeJive’s offbeat way of fighting software piracy. The official word from BeeJive: We have recently implemented new anti-piracy measures in BeejiveIM for iPhone. We have tried to keep our approach fun with an error message and a video. But we hope our message is clear: please respect the work of developers. [...]

Beejive is only targeting it’s cracked application, people who purchased the app and use it on a jailbroken device are not being affected. If you purchased the app after having a cracked version installed, you will need to delete the cracked app and install the purchased app. Some users will have to do a restore to get the app to work, depending on their jailbreak configuration.

if you go to setting on your iphone
then to beejive scroll to the buttom
there is a blank space that has nothing in server
if you change the server from beejive then the app works like a charm

Not sure how I feel about this. If they are banning only the users with a modified or pirated copy of the app then that is fine. But if they are also targetting users with jailbroken phones who have spent 16 bucks in the app store I do not agree. Beejive is my most used app and I will be real upset if I see this message and get banned from using the app.

This looks like people are walking into traps while trying to get show-off points by pirating stuff.

“Does Beejive have the rights to use the Office Space clip?”

Now that is a very good question. Using a pirated clip perhaps?

Hmmmmm

I didn’t link it in the story because of crazy NSFW language (consider that a warning), but here’s the Office Space clip that they forward people to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0hpMHCrSPY
