As someone who makes their living off copy protected Mac software, I'm offended
by your claim that this is "**not** intended that this program be used for
unlawful purposes".

Let's call a spade a spade. This program WILL be used to duplicate copy 
protected software, not always for backup purposes. Software WILL be
ripped off by this program.

I just had to set that straight.
