Go up one level in this thread


I don't think some people realise how lucky we are to have available top flight
chess software at very reasonable prices.

If a new release comes out I don't buy the upgrade, the prices are cheap enough
to buy the full version each time.

Hopefully the pirates are a very low percentage, and they must be doing it
having no regard for furthering the upgrading of chess programs as the years go
on.

We largely have a few select suppliers that have brought the price down to very
reasonable levels.  This action has rationalised the market but left us with t
he strongest programs surviving.

I personally would stamp on any evidence of piracy I came across, it would ruin
the business.

The question as to pirating percentage is lunacy.

Whom, as a pirate, would own up to doing it.

It is virtually impossible for non-piraters to guessimate the numbers.

Lets just try and keep the numbers as low as possible!
