Unfortunately, that's because TLB is a popular target for piracy. So much so, in fact, that Yuri took the time to program intentional bugs into the code that only manifest when somebody has unsuccessfully attempted to bypass the registration. The bugs include (but are probably not limited to) icons distorting on mouse hover, web pages popping up at "random", and the inability to rearrange icons. So naturally, when a user complains of a problem that sounds suspiciously like one of these, our first diagnosis is that the software is pirated. The web page we link to is just kind of a polite way of saying so.
I am frequently shocked and irritated by the gall and ignorance of these freeloaders who steal Yuri's software, then waste everyone's time complaining that it doesn't work right for them. I mean really, would you take a stolen car back to the dealership when the steering column locks up and demand that they fix it? For free?
