This is the real problem. I believe the answer is not what Fabien did, but to send a CD with copy protection linked to that CD. I mean making it not possible to copy. I think the possibility (freedom) to install and deinstall the program as one wish is a must today. I personally do not accept anything that is not that way. > >>option 2:copy protection based on hardwate >> >>A does not buy fruit because it is too expensive and same for B,C,D,E >>Fabien earns nothing. How can a program be too expensive if it cost less than 50 Euro? For people who want everything free it is too expensive also at 2 Euro... > >Would not concern me at all.
