I had to agree with your comments JB. I was surprised to read the first
response was from another vendor, and figured it was professional
jealousy.
It is a shame that there is so much pirate activity going on.
While this is our reality, I do think it is wise to protect your
intellectual property. Sure, nothing is fool-proof since a newer and
better fool comes out every day!
Rock on team!
Go further than you ever thought you could! How to? Just do it ... go
further!, you can do it! Do what? Idk, but go for it! Just do it!
