As someone who has wasted a large amount of time (an invaluable
commodity to some of us) replacing protected software, I find the
cavalier attitude of Mr. Parker contemptable. As a "toolmaker" I know
that I cannot control the purpose to which my tools are put, and am
realistic enough to know that I cannot dictate morality to those who use
the information I impart to them. I have one sure solution to the
problem of having your ideas "ripped off". Don't have any. Judging by
your most recent example, we will not be missing out on much.
