Jeff, just to play the devil's advocate here, and I DO NOT support piracy
in any way, shape or form, it is especially criminal at large places that
can afford it and choose to steal to help their bottom line, but doesnt the
responsibility to protect the software lie with the developer? Hear me out.
If you have a $2,000 bike wouldnt you put a lock on it when you go inside?
Sure, theres no lock in the world that is 100% theft proof, but there are
locks that are extremely difficult to break and will reasonably protect
your investment. My tech knowledge of these things are pretty low, but if
your software is so good everyone wants to steal it, maybe look into
hardware dongles, better encryption, etc? If it is too hard to crack people
will just give up and buy it? Right? Maybe?
