I seem to recall some guy by the name Xheo whose stuff seems to be
well-represented. I've always written my own. More fun!

How did you write your own? Obfuscation and licence algorithm?

Cheers

Why do you think 33% of software today is pirated.

Is that all? Oh you must be referring to the software that is actually in
USE. I was considering the number of commercial programs that have been
hacked to enable the pirating.

Well, here's the thing, then.
If you really believe this figure is accurate and that your experience will
fall into this range, better start studying and become an expert on the
subject.

We can debate figures until our faces turn blue; you should follow your own
good judgement.

I think that figure is more generous than accurate. I am merly trying to get
a diccussion going as to how to prevent these types of cracks from happening
in the first place and lowering that generous figure.

I think it's fairly important to look at where that piracy comes from
though. I wonder how much piracy there is of software other than:

1) Games
2) Operating systems
3) "Big name" products like Word
