I have a great deal of respect for the warez folks online who burrow into premium software and dig out the license calls so that the rest of us can install high-end software on our systems without paying for it at all.

I'm happy to financially support independent software developers with great ideas, and I absolutely love stealing software from companies that charge exorbitant 'subscription' now-you'll-pay-us-forever prices (and then still show you ads and farm your data for AI).

Steal software! Steal what you need! It's not only good for you, but ultimately will be good for everyone.

p.s. anyone who's getting annoyed by the ads should download the ublock origin and Privacy Badger plugins for their browsers.
