#Code Wheel CP
3 messages in this thread
I don't think it's a rationalization. I think once at the beginning would
have done the trick. I bought the software. I'm not giving it to anyone
else. It just became a pain to use that wheel each time you started
anything. I've patched my version and I'm much happier with it. Patching my
software is not immoral, unethical, or illegal so long as I'm not giving
the software to others. Some people have more scruples than common sense.
I agree. As a legal owner of the software you can whatever you want
with it including removing the code wheel protection. If I owned
Interceptor I'd stick it on HD and get rid of the code wheel. The problem
I see with the mass distribution of the technique itself is that it would
encourage the theft of the product. The distribution of the info itself is
not illegal (see the books on how to build your own atomic bomb — every
thing you need 'cept the plutonium — ya gotta steal that). But, it is
questionable ethically.
That is quite correct – you have ecery right to patch it, imho. What you don't
have is the right to give the patch out, and that's what I was discussing with
Larry. Sorry if I wasn't being clear. –Ben–
