Trent, we will always have pirates, period. So long as the intellectual challenge is there, the respondants will be as well. Furthermore, what one man can invent, another can decipher and decode, so you can't win, anyhow. This is the cryptography game squared and cubed, if not in higher dimensions. The return for labor is extreme, so long as software prices are in the stratosphere, and that does not even count the intellectual challenge, which even I find attractive, at times.
