Piracy, warez and You.

[Perasite]

On this issue, my stuff is freeware. The code is even written in plain text files when you do the installation. I would still be offended if someone took my stuff and claimed it to be their's. In the same way, if I charged a fair amount for a product that I had poured my time and effort into and then some schmuck decided to warez it instead of supporting my efforts, then I'd be pissed. The stuff I've written so far is small and uses a lot of other peoples help (with their permission and credit given) so I don't charge. When it grows and begins to require more time, I would hope that people are willing to pay a small charge for the use of the software.
