The main problem are people who think that if they purchased a program they also earned the right to "trade". I am pretty sure that the patch creator in this case is a legal user - discussing motivation of distribution is completely off-topic. >I think one shouldnt blame (or criminalize) the legal owners who decided to get >rid of CD requirement. Yes, that's exactly the point. This is only my opinion and I think we shouldnt discuss >this subject here. Unfortunately you are right. I somehow feel this topic should be discussed, but as it can't be solved here, chances that it will lead to no good are high. I wished "trading" could be stopped, at least with people who call themselves beta-testers and who at least are power users. But it seems people often don't even realize they are doing wrong. Peter
