frenchyge said:<sigh>.... I also had some comments typed about how people should not post their creative ideas on how to use the software in unintended ways, but I assumed that (too) went without saying. We shouldn't really talk out of both sides of our mouths by criticizing developers for not allowing their work to be more flexible, and then openly posting the specifics on how to exploit their work.
So, I guess Hunter did not get the terms of use updated today like he said he was going to yesterday? Or are we just ignoring them now?
That wasn't the OP's point at all. That was a work-around for the security measures that was posted by a 'helpful' respondant.
Not ignoring anything. I took his changes to heart and assumed he made them. I still haven't put the money together to buy WKO+ as i'm doing fine without it for now. Still accumulating data within SRMWin. When I buy it I won't do as intended.
Now in regards to 'exploit' their work. How is it different to making a photocopy of certain pages in the book, using a highlighter on those pages (don't want to destroy the original), writing on those pages with my own notes and methods of understanding the concepts that are contained within.
So i'm using the photocopied pages for my own personal use, i'm using technology which allows for copyrighted material to be duplicated, but it all remains my care and control.
So... at what stage do you trust the end user with your intellectual property that you are selling, that the end user does the right thing?
