Simon, I really think this is a moot issue, since the number of people who are not only capable of but determined to go to these lengths to hack or crack software is extremely small.

I think that figure is more generous than accurate. I am merly trying to get a diccussion going as to how to prevent these types of cracks from happening in the first place and lowering that generous figure. > Well, here's the thing, then. > If you really believe this figure is accurate and that your experience [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >> >> >> > >> >> >> >> Does anyone know any really good products? > I think that figure is more generous than accurate.
