If you're correct, then I must assume that most hobbyists in Europe are
thieves. Thanks for the warning - if I were to believe you, I'd be sure never
to try to market anything there. Fortunately, I know enough people (both pros
and hobbyists) over there who are not software thieves, so I know you don't
speak for everyone. Your statement is an insult and an affront to all the
hobbyists in zone 2 who don't share your disregard for the law.
