I've worked goffconcepts.com full time since 2003 entirely alone (the "we" is my wife). My new product FileSearchEX is highly pirated so I'll probably be moving on to other things. I only recommend SaaS, forget about fat client software. The search engines enable a very toxic landscape otherwise.

Can you elaborate? This is really interesting.

Do you have any (basic?) license enforcement and anti-reversal protection in your code?

What do you mean by toxic search engine landscape?

Interesting. I always thought that illegal downloads are negligible. Maybe your security is non-existent?
