>> I've also had my copywritten materials stolen.<< No doubt. It is a shame. Kind of makes you wonder why you even established the copyright? Oh, that's right, you were trying to protect your intellectual property <beg> (and sorry for the cheap shot - but know I am doing this with humor as my motive)
>> What are you planning on doing, starting "Rick's Genuine Advantage?"<< Nope, not a chance. While at Geeks and Gurus, Steve Sawyer considered adding it to the ViewEditor using some goofy scheme with the Crypto API via the FFC object. Took one test build to realize it does not work the same on two different OS versions. Dumped it because the two of us agreed it was not worth the effort, and the headaches it might trigger for delivery and support. We did not want to worry about the 2% hacker/thieves, and make it hard for the 98% who were going to buy it. But it was our choice. I guess if I was selling tons of licenses, or was delivering a vertical market application I might feel the need to protect it and would have the resources to do so, but the developer tools are such a small part of my revenue stream that I don't feel compelled to implement any of it. I have had people email me for support who are not licensed users of the tools. Cracks me up every time and I kindly answer their questions. I am a strong believer in building good karma. In the long run, everyone will benefit. And to be clear in my statement of having my IP stolen and flaunted in front of me... the developer tools customers were not even considered when I wrote it.
