 NewsForge | Open Source Software economics
Writing software is difficult; it takes years to become even a mediocre software developer, and it also takes quite a bit of work to develop a product to maturity, even after you're a skilled developer.
Software development is no different than any other profession; yet people expect that a wide range of software will be developed for them for free, as if it is unique and outside the laws of economics.
Software is becoming a commodity market, and the days of software's ridiculous profit margins are coming to an end.

For me (for Intuit software), it was a several day delay because their hours were limited and they had a very restrictive way of authentication.
Ambrosia's ability to sue, or to seek criminal charges, against pirates* is a sufficient method of doing so.
Software piracy is extremely easy to do, and can be done in the privacy of your own home, without anyone peering on to influence or temper your actions.

You could download the software and use it forever, scot free except for the friendly reminders that you had the software for 1500 days and still hadn't beaten level 6.
Ambrosia discovered how widespread the use of pirated codes had become through their online registration process.
It's a shame that small companies like Ambrosia can only stay alive by enacting measures to prevent people from stealing their software, and, as such stories become more common, large corporations will have further impetus to enact stricter registration procedures.

 The Plain Truth about Casual Software Piracy
You could download the software and use it forever, scot- free except for the friendly reminders that you had the software for 1,500 days and still hadn't beaten level 6.
Historically it's been difficult to measure software piracy, but our experience is that the vast majority of users lack the time or inclination to modify software to bypass license checks.
They indicated a real interest in our software when they thought they could use it for free, and this gives me hope that some may yet decide that registering is easier and more satisfying than stealing our hard work.

It may not offer the client or Ambrosia everything each could ideally hope for, but it is an excellent compromise between protecting the rights and privacy of the end user and seeing that Ambrosia isn't screwed by serial number lists easily attained.

 Education Update - Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X
As the first generation of students to be raised with digital technology has arisen, it's brought another new generation right along with it: the first generation of teachers needing to teach digital technology to their classes.
Well, one product that falls squarely in that category is Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X. If there's one principle virtually everyone agrees on, it's that most people learn more easily by watching than listening.
Teachers with less than ideal experience with the software on their classroom's syllabus can easily make professional looking videos in their preparation time, eliminating the potential struggle demonstrating on a computer "live" in class often creates.

 Macworld: News: Ambrosia speaks on software piracy
Slot recounted in detail the way that Ambrosia Software -- which depends on electronic distribution over the Internet for most of its income -- has handled software registration over the years.
Eventually, explained Slot, the company became aware that not only were some users of its software actively sharing registration codes with each other, but certain individuals had figured out how to reverse engineer the company's registration code system.
Snapz Pro X, the first Mac OS X-compatible version of the company's popular screen capture utility, was the first Ambrosia application to feature a new server-based registration code system that makes it much easier for Ambrosia to figure out who's using a pirated code and who's legitimately registered.

You see, the company I work for - Ambrosia Software - writes and publishes shareware - software that encourages users to make lots of copies and share them with friends.
We think our software is competitive - $25 will cover a burger run and movie ticket for about three hours entertainment, but a good game can entertain you for days or weeks - and we won't make you watch Jar Jar Binks.
