While our company is quite anal about licensing issues (in that every instance is accounted for and all new software monitored/tracked) on a personal level my belief is that pirated software has its place....some may think that's a ridiculous statement but I truly think it can help drive market penetration and developer bases...

I've read this several times, and I'm still trying to understand your point. If people steal JRun and CFMX/J2EE, then BlueDragon loses it's price advantage? If people steal BlueDragon, then they have an even greater price advantage over JRun/CFMX? There are people who will rip you off no matter what you do, as I'm sure Macromedia is well aware. Fortunately for both of us, there are enough honest people and companies that honor license agreements (most people and companies, in my opinion) that we can make a living in this business. For those people and companies, the difference between $4300/CPU and $1000/server might be significant. Besides all that, I've often felt that I'd rather have people steal my software than pay for my competitors. ;-) Vince Bonfanti New Atlanta Communications, LLC http://www.newatlanta.com/bluedragon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
