RE: Copyright of data

[Bob Crothers <bcrothers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

Theoretically, it is possible to "decompile".  I'd hate to look 
at the results however.

But for as little as $2,401 (the cost of the base Fax Server/401 
including hardware), you can just license a legit copy.  That is 
a lot cheaper than doing a reverse compile.

Most copyright schemes are a trade off.  The vendor's goal is to 
make the effort & pain of violating the copyright higher than 
the cost of purchasing a legit copy without harming the legit 
customers.  I can't speak for other products, but I feel that 
Cornerstone has accomplished this with our scheme.

Regards,

But isn't it possible to decompile an object without the source 
code?

Happy New Year.
