Piracy
We take quite an aggressive approach towards piracy. This is because we have suffered significant losses in the past and we wouldn't be able to sustain our prices (and therefore our business) if we didn't take such measures.
Here are some of the measures we have taken:
-
The download links that we use for our products have timeouts and are unique to each customer.
-
We employ a registration process that effectively personalises our products so that if they are widely distributed, we can ascertain its true source.
-
We periodically scan the Internet for pirated copies of our products.
If we do find that our products have been distributed, the best the culprits can hope for is being banned from our site permanently, and having their ISP and maybe also their boss notified about their illegal activities.
Please understand that a lot of hard work goes into developing our products and so it’s very upsetting for us when we find our products stolen and given away for free.
