   Point is that that might be the decision I made for today and because I own   
   the products I can decide otherwise tomorrow and change my mind again next   
   week. Just like you do with that old computer (or whatever) in your   
   basement. It's there, you don't use it, nobody uses it. Tomorrow you can   
   decide you're going sell it, next week you can decide to give it away, next   
   month you can decide to throw it away and change your mind again and leave   
   it in the basement. None of those decisions will justify that somebody   
   takes it from your basement just because you're not using it and they can't   
   buy it.   
      
   There's one thing I never changed my mind about: If I stumble on a pirated   
   copy of any of my products, the person will pay through its nose. I   
   successfully took legal action in the past and will do that in the future   
   too. It's an easy way to make some money of those products :-)
