In light of that, it seems silly that this is what we encourage everyone to do, and yet we begrudge people who instead pay 50 bucks for a piece of software that obviates that step.
That $50 software was stolen. The underlying code that does the work was not theirs. They stole it and are charging people for code they did not write and have no permission to sell. They are very sleazy. I begrudge them everything.
