1)How do you know that there are not cracked version of fruit?
I think that you never can know something like that and you may know only the
opposite.
The best that you can say is that you did not find a cracked version of fruit.

2)I thought first that it is a good idea but I changed my mind about it after
reading a lot of complaints in this forum and after understanding that there is
probably no copy protection that cannot be cracked by crackers and I think that
the fact that the copy proterction of fruit cannot be cracked by most people(and
maybe by most crackers) does not help much because one cracker may share fruit
with a lot of people.
