Hi Joachim,

That's all fine and well, but I still think you are making a mistake.
People who use pirated software will NEVER buy Fruit. Why would they? They are
used to the free stuff. They already got Shredder, Fritz,... for free.
Fritz 9 which seems to be very strong is already available on all peer-to-peer
networks.
Most of those people will just wait a while until the copy-protection is broken
by some hacker. Since Fruit's exe is very small, I expect that it's going to be
extremly easy for many to brake it. Your only hope is that since Fruit is not
well known outside the small CC comunity, they may never find out about it.

In the meantime, you are making a big inconvenience for your good customers. In
my oppinion, you will hurt sales rather then gain some.

Alex
