"The only estimate I have ever seen of the wares/legal ratio was from a developer named Simon Fraser (sp?), who said the registration rate for his downloaded shareware was only 0.5%. This means about 200 illegal copies for every paid copy." How can he estimate the # of people who downloaded, didn't like it & deleted? Rather big ego of him to assume that everyone who DLed kept his program. How many of the DLs were corrupted & needed to be repeated? (considering how often it happens to me)
