Interesting ... but who said Renderotica stuff isn't on pirate sites, who told you that?

Even if it's true, that doesn't mean Renderotica are behind piracy, I mean blimey, piracy is so widespread now that it would be impossible for anyone at Renderotica to have influence over all of them, even if they had influence over some of them.  Pirates operate from all over the world and speak different languages, the admin of Renderotica would have to be seriously influential to pull-off what you suggest!
