Hi Stephen,
I pay for every single piece of software I own (including TS2K). Even when I
had 23 different computers in my company I paid for every single license.
Ethically I feel that is the correct thing to do and wouldn't want someone
stealing from me. Also if someone likes the software they should be honest
enough, if they desire the software, to pay the going price that the company
ask. I do like TS2K and it has served me well, so I think the income and
profit belongs to those that developed and marketed the company and its
product.
That being said, If there is no difference between TradeStation
Technologies, Inc. and Omega Research, Inc. why did the (CEO, Board of
Directors, etc ad infinitum) choose to change their name from Mike to John?
The only two instances in life that I aware of as to why someone changes
their name is: a) actors because they are pretending to be someone they are
not and b) criminals who are trying to hide something. Possibly there other
reasons and certainly I'm sure your company does not fit under either of the
two but it would be interesting to hear "why"?
Regards,
Michael McGahee

TradeStation Technologies, Inc. and Omega Research, Inc. are the same
company. The company simply changed its name, which is of no legal
significance to its assets, rights or obligations. It is no different than
if an individual changed his name from Mike to John. He owns the same
things, and has the same rights and obligations, as he did before he changed
his name.
Accordingly, TradeStation Technologies continues to own all of the same
rights in its software and technology, including copyrights, that it owned
before its name change. Bootlegging or piracy of the company's software is
illegal, and the company reserves its rights to enforce its copyright and
other ownership rights to the maximum extent the law permits, which may
include injunction, and recovery of damages, punitive damages and attorneys'
fees and costs. We do not condone the illegal copying, sale or other use of
the company's products or violation of its software licensing agreements.
Sincerely yours,
Stephen Pepe
Director of Client Support
TradeStation Technologies, Inc.
