I would find it more of a pain in the ass to steal it then just pay for it.
I mail order all my chess programs put them on my credit card and have it
shipped next day air. Its not like the programs cost an arm and a leg. So I
voted 0% also. Because I don't think they were asking what percentage of
programs you think are stolen, but what percentage of program you have are
stolen.
