Now that this is on PC, you think somebody will be crafty enough to crack it? I know TiVo in general is locked down pretty tight, but where there is software, there's someone out there finding ways to work around it. I'll be interested in seeing whether or not this thing winds up making the rounds on Mininova.
Why is it that people always seem to raise the question of cracking software. Stick your hand in your pocket and buy the damn product. I do - frequently.
Not everyone can afford it. plain simple truth. do you really think that it hurts the company one some guy pirates it when he wouldn't normally buy it anyways? if anything it helps the company. if your going to steal. steal our product. brand recognition... now that i make a bit more money than i did when i was 18 i AM more inclined to pay for the software. if only for the sake of not having to crack it.
