We put measures in place to prevent people from stealing our work. We have invested a lot of time and money to do so. Our scripts only run on the server they are registered to run. The part that makes them do so is heavily encrypted. If someone finds a way around our system...I would not pursure them legally. Instead I would give them a free license in exchange for info as to how they did it so that i can use the info to prevent it from happening again.

Anyone who does not get creative and just sits and complains about people taking their shit without taking the time and resources to do something about....I'm sorry, but in my book they deserve it. (i'm not speaking about your content producing biz cuz i have no idea about what steps you've taken. I just know about the recording industry...And putting a out a lame PSA Announcement every other month is not create, innovative, or worth while)

Is it moral...no. I understand that. But I guess laziness is my pet peeve. And if I were the recording industry, I'd actually put a little effort into it...PSA's, suing 13 year old children, and posting fake songs on Kazaa is NOT effort
