You legally own 'most' of the CB products???

Talk about having brass b***s.

I think that the suggestion concerning weekly or monthly refueling is a
reasonable attempt to prevent illegal pirating and I personally would have no
problem with this procedure.

If the company were to go out of business, either the company buying the assets
of Chessbase would continue with the periodic check, or Chessbase could create a
patch to disable the security feature.

I think that those who argue most passionately against a company defending its
legitimate commercial interests bring suspicion upon themselves.
