We could go back and forth forever taking apart the arguments of each other
line by line. The bottom line, for me, is that the statement you make
(quoted above) is based on conjecture, not fact. You have no way of knowing
if removing copy-protection would reduce revenues just as I have no way of
knowing it would not.

If Bob Brickey, who has developped more high end software than anybody here
"has no way to know this",
I guess that we might definitively close this endless discussion.
He has given enough sound clear arguments that are not feeling based, but
reality.

My "feeling" is that, if Omega handled it properly, removing copy-protection
could be a positive step, not a negative one, for both clients and the
company itself.

Your feeling is that a copy unprotected software will please you, regardless
of the interest of the company and other users that may be disavantaged by the
piracy underlying issue.
Who wants an unprotected TS copy has certainly other idea hidden behind this
academic debate.
Omega will not remove the protection , whatever it may be in the future, so do
not dream anymore.
The only interest of rermoving protection is for piracy, and has nothing to
deal with a supposed image of the company, enhanced by giving away a freeware.
Who could believe in this bad fairy tale ?
The only valid unprotection issue is the server that could run on a separate
machine if you want to use your TS copy outside with historical data. This is
feasible, I suppose, and should facilitate the work of several pepole here.
