I was browsing through some of the new release on the app store a bit ago and found just released app for keygen music. www.midigen.com and www.taugames.com are the publisher and developer.
I wonder if it was legit or not?
They have 51 teams (as they put it in the app) on there, so I assume that the musicians are behind it.
They do have 250 song pack for $1.99 which kinda made me question it.

Heres a link to the app...

When I first saw this I was excited. It sounded like the keygen site had made a app like the SidPlayer app. "All the keygen mods on my iPod? Sign me up!" But after grabbing it an giving a look-see, it started to smelly fishy. And not in the good way.

Looks like the taugames site doesn't even mention the app. As of last I checked

Does it include music from people we should report to?
They shouldn't be selling XMs

The app is free and comes with 110 songs installed from 51 teams, and also sells a 250 song pack for $1.99
The teams being the cracker teams that used the songs in their cracks/hacks (ORiON, PHROZEN CREW, tPORt, DEViANCE, FFF, BRD, ect ect)
with no mention of the actual song authors.
Example: uCF is attributed to Monday when Rez made it. Turrican (Intro) and SnD.
So looks like they just grabbed some songs from keygenmusic.net and slapped them in a app and just acknowledged the cracker teams.
A screenshot in the app store displays other songs (I guess from the pack) that shows the track name, cracker team and the name of the crack.

Intriguing.

To be fair, the composers are rarely involved with the copyright intrusion themselves, and sometimes they aren't even affiliated with the cracking crews whose intros or keygens they appear in.

And selling warez... That's just lame! smile

The 250 song pack seems fairly illegal, then!

Well the app is free so I grabbed when I first saw it in the store, but I won't buy the music pack.

I wrote a review for it in the app store but when that shows up who knows.

I downloaded the free app - there's 100 tracks, just built into a standard media player style layout - nothing exceptionally special!

EDIT - 110 tracks, herp derp
