I cant really blame any of the software vendors from protecting their
licenses, any more than a municipal cable TV system going after those that
steal cable TV.

As for the Tax software, for every 6 copies used last year, only 2 were
legit purchases, at least from what I heard..

They had to draw the line somewhere and I bet Tax cut and many other
vendors go the same route.
