And, food for thought regarding a warez-like similar situation. Show of hands... most folks here have some combination of WinZip, WinRAR, and/or WS_FTP. You know the ones... the "nonexpiring" trial versions. How many of you have anted up for the commercial versions once you decided you liked the trials?
Wow, pretty quiet.

Actualy, I use 7-Zip, It is free, open source software. And for FTP sites I use WinSCP. Yet another free, open source program.
So really, anyone that uses pirated versions of WinZip, WinRAR, or WS_FTP aren't looking hard enough.
(WinSCP can be found at winscp.net, and 7-Zip can be found at 7-zip.org)
