Here's how I deal with users who steal
I read this article with interest and I have to say that this is a slap in the face of everyone who honestly pays for the software. It's like inviting a burglar back to your house the next day for dinner. Opportunity makes thieves, period. If someone is so broke that he can't afford to pay, and this someone is an honest person, he would probably ask you for a special discount, explaining his tight financial situation.<p>Poverty is no excuse to steal (at least not in my book). Not so long ago I lost everything I worked for in the past 30+ years, including my home. Do you think I steal my way through live now? No I don't, because I was raised that honesty is the most important thing in live-and that's what I taught my kids and that's what I tell my grandkids.
 What message do you try to convey when you treat thieves the same way than honest customers? I sure wouldn't take my money to a business like this(if I had the money). I believe it invites people to keep stealing from you, because you're asking for it. Dude get real, that's the wrong way to promote yourself by letting everyone know what a good heart you have.
Yeah, I know times are hard, but does that give you a free ticket to steal? Absolutely not. And then you have the nerve to compare yourself to the cop in Florida...who indeed did a good thing. This was about food not a frigging piece of software.
