...and so in order to protect users from evildoers exploiting their ignorance, we destroy in one stroke all (well, much) income derived by anyone making money from writing & distributing Applescripts. If you can read the code, you can edit it, and spot & remove any registration lock.

I know this is tangential, but I guess that's the point. Using technical solutions to social problems will always have unintended side effects - and won't necessarily work.

Anyone want to start a thread about how copy protection & registration locks shouldn't be allowed because they're a technical fix to a social problem? Nooooo.....

'Suppress all further warnings is good'

asking permission to delete an entire user's home directory is good too

...Applescripts from authors who don't contribute to helping other ppl code (a little post here, a little newsgroup reply there) = not worth paying a dime for. That's a lot of ppl's introduction to coding.

What's up w/ the ppl who type -fr (are they second guessing typers, french, or did they memorize the commands alphabetically)?
