And interestingly (or not) D4NM4N is selling stuff he has spent time creating himself, why don't you just give it away? After all, no one would actually be taking it, they'd just have a copy, you wouldn't have lost anything?!
WHOA!, slow down there .Rob. !!! If you read it again, i am not saying its ok at all to steal something at all or that we should get something for nothing. Just that we should be very carful as to what constitutes an intrusion on a network. Merely devils advocate if you will. Yes ive worked hard on my software, someone stealing my software is taking bread from my family but at least i TRY and protect it with codes and licence etc, so at least users know its not entirely free. If i distributed the software with no licence info or security, then i could hardly blame anyone but myself if someone got the wrong idea.
Please check my edit at the top, ive tried to be more clear what i was trying to say.
