@FutureMemory Firstly, I consider it an honour that they think my product is worth “stealing”. there are movies that costs millions to make that are not worth “stealing”.
Furthermore, i will not gain $69.99 by blocking them. The only way i can get my money back is if i sue them, and to do that i need a lawyer, and if i do do that, i will want to reclaim my costs from the other side, and lawyers charge a lot, and that means i would need to sue them for thousands of bucks for something that costs $69.99, and really, im not that much of an asshole.
Also, they are giving me publicity, my software has a link to my site, and any time someone sees the pirated copy, i get something out of it.
But my main reason, is i simply do not believe in copyright laws (the way they are currently used). If another company steals my software, and they start to sell it on mass, then i would sue them. i believe that is what copyright law is there to protect, to protect me from other companies, and to protect other companies from yet more companies. they are not there to allow you to ruin some poor teenagers life or to make criminals out of regular people.
EDIT: also, who am i to go taking regular people to court for pirating my software, when i have a hard drive full of stuff that i got the exact same way.
