The point I was making is that if you screw the software developers over, they're going to stop working with you... We're all pretty lucky that DCD didn't just disappear into the sunset and stop contributing tothe community in general..
To put it simply, these guys invested a lot of work in their product, and it's flagrantly disrespectful to them to have a bunch of guys talk about how worthless the software is, but openly state that they'll pirate it. If you don't want to buy the retail version.. fine.. but you ought to send the developer something if you intend to keep using the trial version.
I see a big difference between leeching internet from your carrier (especially since you can use your net the same way on the phone as you do on your PC), and screwing over the developers who help advance technology.
