Y'know, guys, as someone who owns registered copyrights, I must admit 
that if we were moderated here, those posts that illegally distributed 
software would not have made it to the net.  No one wants to shut down 
honest opinions; however, we do want to prevent people from illegal 
distribution of the work that pays their mortgages, buys food, etc.

To that end, flame me all you like -- I'll respond privately.

But don't post software that is in production and is currently 
commercially available.  It's just plain wrong.
