- Glad you did. This sort of invalidates what I said previously to
- Grover Thomas about buying their software new at these prices.
- Usually people will say "yeah, I legally own <insert software title>"
- when in fact they've pirated it. Now it seems people will pretend
- they've pirated the software to get the discount! This is crazy! I
- know Seven Hills needs the money, but I'm not going to buy Font
- Factory, Superconvert and ShoeBox at regular price because I don't
- need any of them. I think they would rather get $48 out of me than
- none at all.

- I wouldn't blame them if they do. They are trying to raise cash
- as quickly as possible. Whether or not it is legally or morally
- correct to charge unsuspecting customers the regular price is a
- totally different matter.
