   I'm not saying you lose your rights as the developer and owner. If you dont   
   want to release your program public domain, fine, your choice. BUT, if you   
   dont provide a facility for people to register your application, don't   
   complain if people work around that. You bring it upon yourself.

   And I don't see how saying things like that will win anyone over. Makes you   
   sound like a snake who doesn't offer registration for his apps so people   
   WILL crack it, so you can find them and make money off them.   
      
   As I said, dirty pool.
