Message:: [QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 541483, member: 4381"]Well, It's a 25 years mandatory sentence for cracking and using Dream Weaver without permision because the software has an encryption seal and is therefore  protected under the DMCA.  So if you can't afford Dream Weaver, your idea is that one shouldn't actually learn HTML and how to use an editor.  Instead one should perpetrate a major felony. Soooo, I can understand the motivation to perpetrate a felony of this sort if the purpose of the act was to make some kinds of a political statement against the DMCA and the current copyright regime.  In fact, i have friends who have gone to jail just for that reason, with a helping hand of Adobe Software.  But, frankly,  to risk your welfare, and the welfare of your family for the purposes of creating a coin collecting website, well, that just takes a special kind of person. To help others make the same choices... that would put someone into the top 0.5% of specialness. BTW - let me introduce you to the <a href="http://www.bsa.org/GlobalHome.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bsa.org/GlobalHome.aspx" rel="nofollow">BSA</a>.  Despite their reliance of non-standardized web protocols, and the fact that they sound like the Boys Scouts of America but are not,  they are still quite effective at their aims and have darn good lawyers who, strangely enough, can even get people jailed.
