I've read each of your posts several times and I still can't fathom what you're trying to say. You seem to be arguing that by being less expensive, New Atlanta opens themselves up to a greater degree of piracy? This seems to fly in the face of common sense, so either my interpretation is incorrect or I just don't understand your logic.
As for your tone, well, I would expect better from a Macromedia employee. Statements like "it's a pretty simple question" just sound demeaning. You referred to his post, which was completely in context to the thread, as an "ad." Even if it is an "ad," and I don't believe so, might you have taken the higher road instead of taking a pot shot at a competitor? Benjamin S.

It's a pretty simple question. I'll rephrase it. If you reduce your equation to initial cost, such as with that ad you posted there, then how do you logically deal with people who find ways to reduce your prices still further? Do you use that "it's illegal" line, the might-makes-right argument Rob mentioned? Or might you point out how it's valuable to compensate the people who actually create a technology, how this is an investment in future work? Or do you perhaps have some other way to deal with parasites like that...? jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Developer Support, San Francisco (Best to reply on-list, to avoid my mighty spam filters!)
