About the (historical) Winzip Protection

[theCaller]

hi guys,
it's something I've always asked myself without getting to any good point .... It's been years by now I'm using Winzip and everytime I get the newest version the good old keygenerator from the almigthy TMG always works fine ....

years and years and no one there have thought to renew the protection ...... why's that?

I really don't understand .... Is there anybody out there owning a legal copy of winzip? ...

Can anyone explain?

PS
indeed, I really don't understand why certain software houses do not renew their protection even if it is clear that there are lotta illegal registered copys around, even more than the legally registered ones .... is it a kinda of market strategy or what?
