Yeah, I thought of that myself, but I remembered an earlier thread where Vaio_Con_Dios suggested jumping through all sorts of hoops to get to his freebies. I never thought it was practical. Personally, while I detest the abuse of intellectual or digital property, I think it's as simple as this: people are gonna do it. You cannot protect your product when you offer it for free and make it freely available. The honor system only works with honorable people. What lies at the bottom of this thread is the issue of how to deal with them here, on our turf.
