And how does it happen to disagree with me? I'd kindly ask you to read my message again, because I did not say that I am proposed to piracy, I just said that piracy is, in fact, not stealing.

Stop with the sensational crap and learn, for your own sake. We don't grow in any way by simply spouting out what w've been taught, like a machine. Now onto the voice thing. My question is, why not use the built-in Vocalizer voices? I know, Infovox is new, and people always gravitate to new things, but Vocalizer has pretty much any language one would need. The only glaring omission that there is for me is that there is no Esperanto voice, but guess what? Infovox doesn't have one either. So really, use Vocalizer unless you have no regard for the law. In that case, go ahead and search, fore telling you not to will only further your resolve. Besides that, if the crack didn't exist, iVox wouldn't have a "lost sale" anyways, because you wouldn't have bought it, I'm sure. Now if Infovox has an Esperanto voice, I'd surely shell out some money for that, as no other voice system for the Mac has it. Sent from Outlook Mobile.

If developers priced their apps reasonably and didn't have any "3 activations per user" BS, people would be more willing to pay. If a developer who's not filthy rich creates and incredible app at a reasonable price, I'll absolutely support them.
