I guess it can happen.  When we started Sub-Etha, we individually serial
numbered every piece of software (on the disk and lable) we sold and
registered them (we shipped all the software, even orders taken by other
dealers).  So, we knew who had what and could always ask for a serial number.

We started up in 1990, near the end years of Rainbow, but we never "saw" the
problem of piracy...I'm sure some of our programs got passed around, but no
one ever called us about it or to request more fonts or whatever for a
pirated copy.  Perhaps the serial number discouraged that?  I do not know.
