Paging CCCage's brain...

Hello,  McFly... McFly???.......

Just think about it for a few min, maybe reality will hit you.  Maybe the 
scope of the issue you're talking about will come to you.

Now if someone is selling pirated CDs with ChessBase material on it, that 
*might* (doubtful?) be worth their while, but if someone is just trading 
(swapping, whatever you want to call it) for personal use, do you think that 
ChessBase has the resources to go after individuals from here and there all 
over the world?  Come on.

Microsoft can't, but maybe ChessBase can... right, ok ;)

No doubt there will be some who will come riding in on their moral high 
horse and chastise me for saying such things, and try to portray me as the 
scourge of the earth, but don't waste your time/energy.

I have a realistic point of view, not some fancy-dancy, high-and-mighty 
ideological dreams of a perfect society in which nobody does anything wrong.  

You won't stop anyone from doing what he or she is going to do anyway.
