Agreed. A company I once worked for insisted that we must - MUST -
deride users who use known pirated keys. The developer in charge of
this feature made a simple mistake and in not-so-rare circumstances,
new users were falsely accused of pirating. Needless to say, the users
were quite upset by the accusations ...
It's not your responsibility to enforce Apple's license terms, nor
is it wise to risk alienating your customers to force upon them your
ideals which only apply to your one application. Just another opinion
to add to the mix. But then, this debate has nothing to do with Cocoa.
