RGCC is a different bag. The people here would like to support the activities of
engine authors, because we are all aware that there is a limited market. As
always, people who can't pay to play will pirate, and some people will pirate
because it's convenient. In addition, you can find a lot of chess software
available on Kazaa or other P2P programs...you just need a good virus checker.
;) I'm willing to bet that over half the people here are honest, though.
