Guys come up for air once in >awhile. I have one question. How do you know if a site is a pirate site? If you begin to suspect you can start to become paranoid and avoid downloading Crafty because you may suspect that it is not a free program. The fact that Bob hyatt claims that it is a free program proves nothing because you may suspect that Bob Hyatt stole Crafty and tell people that it is a free program. I think that it is better to use common sense and common sense tells that it is logical to assume that a site that include only old programs is not a pirated site and it is logical to assume that Crafty is a free program. I decided to ask if Genius2 is a free only because your suspects made me believe in nothing. If you have a better rule to tell me if a program is piratted that does not tell me not to download Crafty then please tell me. Uri
