Bear in mind you're not just paying for a program that is less than

about two to three years to design/build/test that program.

I am not quite sure I agree with you with the time-frame.
For a PPC program to span across 80 hours a week for 2-3 years that's not
possible or not practical.


You can quibble about the number of hours it took to create the
software, but the bottom line is someone spent alot
of hours creating that software and they deserve to be paid for
it and the user has no right to steal it.
