    Its alright for some people who don't need to worry that casual piracy
    would remove 90% of their income. When you have a small user base
    that likes to share, dongles are perfect. We actually normally have
    no problems with them at all, so once its installed the only
    inconvenience to the customer is if they want to share with their
    friends.

    I suspect you've never even seen a dongle before, or have never been
    in a situation where it would help. I'm not even sure if that really
    is your real email address either, do they teach you to spell in UBC ?

    Personally I'd like not have to deal with dongles etc, but until users
    stop trying to avoid paying for the hard work that we put into the
    software, I'll have to continue. Its not easy writing software you
    know. I hope you are poor, so a little poetic justice heads back in
    your direction since you obviously don't have much concern for the
    people who write software and have to earn a living off it.
