		<description>Bruce,

You know my stance on piracy :)

BUT, I don&#039;t they are stupid. When I was younger, I would pirate everything going, not because I couldn&#039;t afford (I probably couldn&#039;t have), it was soley the challenge. 

Now that I&#039;m getting older - I just dont have enough free time on my hands - so rather than mess around pirating - I just purchase. I think this is a logical progression for most &#039;pirates&#039;

Also - as we both know - the proliferation of IP into the hands of pirates can be a very useful (and cheap) distribution mechanism - you just need a robust way of protecting the IP content at a given time and forcing the &#039;buy&#039; scenario - even a small percentage of converts will add a huge chunk to top line profitability, as the distribution costs have been £0.00

I think I still have a LensLok somewhere, courtesy of Simon Goodwin :)</description>

		<description>Thanks for the reminder.
Pirates are stupid, they destroy the production of the thing they enjoy.</description>
