Before getting a chance to read the rest of the replies here, I'd like to
apologize to Mr. Mora...I got a letter from him today saying he is releasing
his program for free. I mis-understood the original post and I am sorry for
posting the part about the program being costly (upgrades and what-not).
I do appreciate that he is in this to protect the authors of the programs and
not to just make a buck for himself...that's pretty noble these days.
I do still feel that programs like this will do as much harm as they do good.
I know that pirating is a problem, but I think it is more of a problem on
home/personal machines then corporate machines (I have no facts, it's just a
feeling I have) and this program won't stop that type of pirating.
