Relatedly, the easiest and most effective anti-piracy method: do not write software for people who do not pay money for software.


I.e. people under twenty (with notable and profitable exceptions like video games and education software); hackers or crackers who can get around nags and piracy protections, or find a close free substitute; or, God help you, someone who is both.


So far so good.

But, for me at least, it means I'm not my own target group.

The only software which I consider to paying for are tools for industrial automation, PLC programming. It, mostly, means enterprise scale. Not my league yet.


Oh, you're teasing! :) Which people do you write for?
