Give me a break!  This is commonly called THEFT!  Anyone stupid enough to fall
for this line of crap deserves what they get.  Doesn't anyone get a receipt for
stuff they give up?  If they deny it as missing, then they owe you another one.
Are people this stupid?  Or are people just mindless sheep?  Maybe stupidity
is the reason the software industry is in the shape it's in.  Maybe W.C. Fields
line should read, 'You can't cheat an honest man, unless he's that F*CKING 
stupid!"
