Can't resist to give at least a normal reply...
A music CD huh? First of all, Yuri's probably put a lot more effort into TLB. Years of work, and let's not forget the many years before spent on learning C++. Secondly, it's got more than 20 features, it's got a shitload of it. Last but not least, TLB is something you use every single day and makes your life much easier, whereas a music CD would eventually gather dust. If you feel it's not worth the money you obviously have a twisted idea of the world. There's a lot of software available at a much higher price which doesn't have the same excellent level of support. Let's not forget you're paying for that too, huh. Well, at least we are. Yuri may not have put in a state-of-the-art anti-crack solution, but that's impossible. Even high-end applications like 3D Studio Max are cracked within days, so what's the point. He added an option to annoy illegal users, and then focused on improving the product.
I'm in no way associated with Yuri, just a happy customer and fellow programmer. If you worked on software for a living you'd understand it. You can't go out and steal a Ferrari just because you feel it's overpriced, and software isn't any different, no matter what anyone says...
