I'm afraid, Barry, that we have an irreconcilable difference of opinion about this. I'm a software author who's spent (to date) 23 years working on a software package (for amateur astronomers) which is massively pirated. I know from your previous posts that you consider "sharing" copyrighted material to be a good thing to do. To me, people who use my software without paying for it are people I have no liking and certainly no respect for, and I certainly don't think that pirates are to be praised in any way whatsoever.
