It's called salvage. On the high seas if a ship is found abandon with all
crew left, than the finder can claim salvage rights. Hiroshi abandoned his
software on the high seas on the Internet, and has rejected the priviledges
and rights that copywrite provide him. Intelectual property rights are not
meant to lock the benefits of usefull tools away from humanity. All of us
have expressed a willingness to pay and have made attempts to
contact/rectify the situation.
All to no avail.
I say release the hack and be done with it!
In the meantime anyone who wishes to use my method to circumvent
registration, know that it does work!
