I.R. Brainiac...I don't see this as a problem, but more as a 'win' for an 'alternate source' of exposure to Stardock's product actually culminating in a new customer/subscription. I won't be chastizing you about your path of discovery as its destination is what matters most...
{Of course, I'm a non-Stardock Admin, and I suspect others may be less enamoured, so I suggest getting 'legitimate' sooner, rather than later]...

This public annoucement is either the stupidest, or the bravest thing I seen in a while......... I'm not sure which.
Either way, listen to Jafo, and get this sorted quickly.............. all will be well, I'm sure. 
ps...... I don't mean stupid for confessing, it's great you've done that.......... but I probably would have kept it to myself, until after I had purchased the program.

It's only stupid if he doesn't actually buy it. It probably would have been better if he would have purchased and then told his story....now I will be looking at his access level to make sure it doesn't stay at a "2".
Personally, since my paycheck is made possible by the sale of products, I
care not to hear about the piracy that happens. I wish people would
realize that software sales actually provide incomes to people the same way
their job provides them an income. I guess the typical pirate doesn't
care, though.

Sadly the cheese wouldn't stick to the monitor properly, and for the brief minutes that it would, I'd have to slide it around when I moved a window. Thus came about the purchase of my copy......

@ HippyDoomgaze, its posible to find someones name, addres and all that stuff by just 1 ip, I am sure it would scare them to death if you would send them a small briefcard with: Pirated software is illegal, next time we will take actions against you
