I cannot say anything about the 'plugin bought or pirated plugin downloaded' situation as I cannot know which of my customers does it which way. Nobody denies there are these type of people. Just my feeling, i never did a stadistic about this, maybe im totally wrong and it really is black and white So, my opinion is: We shall still focus on a good protection/register system so we DELAY (a little at least) a full version to be found, if our plugin becomes so popular (Im talking about plugins, etc, not about 50000 euros applications, in that case this people are part of the point 2) If they don't find the cracked version first in google, then they'll consider buying it after some time that the application doesnt appear and if they can they will. People that are in the middle situation, if they like the plugin and they can they'll buy it, but if they first found it for 'free' then they'll just use that.People who will always search and wait the pirated version, never buy.People who will always buy a plugin, not pirate.

My opinion is there are 3 kind of people, not only black and white. They rather spend their money to improve the car for the real customers) That´s why the car industry doesn´t really car changing anything. The manufacturers know there are people stealing cars and that they have their tricks to open a car, but these people are not the target customer anyway so there is no need to spend millions of dollars for researching new locking systems, these people will find a way to open these up again. (That´s why cars mostly use the same lock system they did 40 years ago.

It´s a battle you cannot win so you better concentrate on the 'real' people instead. It won´t change how these people think so it won´t change the behavior of these people and you can´t do anything about it. These facts were true 10 years ago, they are true now and they will probably be also true in 10 years. It doesn´t matter if you give it out or not. No matter if you give out that serial or not (of course I don´t encourage you giving it out, don´t get that wrong) the ones that would use it will not pay for your plugin anyway.
