Heh. Wouldn't it suck if, like spammers and other such villains,
software companies got into a duel with such a program? You would have
EULAs would become even more complex and-or with text full of things
like spaces between the letters, sixes used for "b"s, @ signs used for
the letter "a", etc. Then there would be the need to continually update
the program as well...
But I digress.
