I agree wholeheartedly, Max. I run a very successful business in a traditional industry unrelated to 3d. On occassion I find myself having to tell a customer, "Payment is not an option. It's a requirement", or "If you can't afford it, don't buy it." The customer who doesn't like those realities I don't want as a customer. People frequently jump to the conclusion that if your product costs $100,000 then you're making $100,000. They just don't realize that the company might be spending $99,000 to produce that product. If I ran a software company and I caught a cracker/hacker ripping me off I would instruct my attorneys to "do whatever the law allows to him" (that's exactly what I tell our attorneys to do on the rare occassion I run into a deadbeat). No sympathy...at all. A guy who steals software is no different than a guy who breaks into your house when you're away and steals your belongings.
