  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.
