And for those of you who want to debate ethical considerations here at hacker news, you may want to think twice about the persona you end up revealing in this public forum.
Likewise. You might want to take heed of your own advice.
If you're treating everyone you do business with as people that will potentially rip you off, I wouldn't want to work with you. Its amazing at how quickly "Good intentions to prevent piracy" morph into "But my product cant be pirated. Fuck the customers. They're all crooks anyway."

One less thing for either of us to worry about. See how well this forum works? Quite well indeed. However I've never had a complaint about the workings of HN, on the technical side or otherwise.
