## A note about piracy
Oh yes, piracy, how could I forget about it? Well, if people pirate your software, then:
1. Your software is so good that people without the money are willing to spend their time and effort to acquire it anyway.
2. Your license and distribution terms are out of touch with reality. Maybe the software is too expensive, doesn't have multi-tier pricing to maximize the customer base or the license terms are too strict. This especially applies to always online services tied to the software. People like privacy and sometimes staying offline. So change your business practices accordingly. Build ramps, not walls.
