Its not all that expensive, I was invited to join about two years ago. And
they do have their uses for little guys whose software gets swiped. A lot of
people who will pirate the little guy's software has already knicked Adobe,
MS or some other. Rat out the pirate and watch the massacre as BSA lawyers
tear them apart.
