They try to sell their car on their property, and out of the blue, someone tows it away to sell it in a different state. It is exactly the same thing.

You should rethink that logic because mirroring software still leaves the original provider with the software. To be correct in your statement you'd have to say its like someone taking a perfect copy of your car and selling it in another state. But its freeware... so even then your logic doesnt make sense because the car has monetery value for the seller.

Hmm ... your logic sounds logical. I agree with you. But there's more to this then monetary as well. Since this is freeware, money is out the window. As it has been done before, some people mirror after altering files (I don't believe a PB user would do this though). So I would assume that the main reason was for the integrity of the application and the trust he builds with his userbase.

And calling someone's comment as "Dumbass" doesn't help neither your or my case either
