Max, I highly doubt that you consider us "RESPECTED PEOPLE". Last year one of the members of myf1.net (Zhu Yuguang zyg8108@21cn.com ) posted the HACKED registration #'s to the trial version of our software on myf1.net.

THEY ARE STILL THERE EVEN THOUGH I'VE REPEADETLY ASKED YOU TO REMOVE THEM!

Since that time our web server has been hit at least 25 times per day by people in china and other eastern countries attempting to download the trial version even though it is written totally in english and could not be of any possible use in china (EXCEPT FOR THE SOURCE CODE). We finaly had to block the ip ranges for all of the eastern countries.

The person who posted the serial numbers is Zhu Yuguang zyg8108@21cn.com. He is also a member here of the UT. I'm sure he found our software because this happened shortly after I put our software in the list of Foxpro apps here on the UT. I suspect that he scanned through the list of apps using foxpro here on the UT and then used a decompiler to extract the serial numbers and source code. Our app is refoxed. I HIGHLY DOUBT that our software is the only one downloaded from the UT'S list and decompiled.

Because of YOUR actions and the actions of one of your members, we had to rewrite the way our software handles the registration numbers as well as change the registration numbers of all of our customers.

You just don't care who you steal from. I spent two years writing that app and you are KNOWINGLY allowing people to steal my hard work EVEN THOUGH I'VE ASKED YOU TO STOP. STOP WHINING ABOUT THE COST OF SOFTWARE, YOU JUST STEAL WHAT YOU WANT. In my opinion, you will never pay even an honest and fair price when you can just STEAL it!
