RE: FN-FORUM Legality of dodgy software

That depends on how plentiful clients are at any given time and how
moral a sort of a chap you are.

What are you hoping / do you think you'll achieve by shoping them? If
you don't mind losing them as a client and want to shop them for the
good it may do then go for it.

If you're only doing it for the reward the BSA offer then that's your
decision.
