Thanks Stefy. Good thing this thread started kinda late at night, because I'm sure it would have snowballed. :-) I hate that people would pirate software of any type, but it seems to be even worse when they rip off individuals who aren't big corporations. Members here skilled at making products people are willing to pay for deserve to get paid by everyone who uses their products. I would hope that any artists posting in the galleries here would have enough respect for their fellow members who work hard making those items, that they would never use pirated items in their works. I have to say that I am surprised and disappointed that any one would be blatantly "warezing" your products. I really do understand the frustration, but trying to fight piracy is often more trouble than it's worth. Look at Microsoft. They spent millions to come up with the activation system for WindowsXP to prevent piracy, but with XP not even in stores yet, news is that Warez groups have already hacked the activation system and have made it available online! Anyone out there using warezed versions of Stefy's products, or any other products sold here, should be ashamed of themselves. Even if you see nothing wrong with stealing from multi-billion dollar software companies, ripping off individual artists here who work hard and deserve every penny they make is just plain disgusting...
