Am I reading this right? Your legal programs have a subscription cost, at 10% of the buy price of the program, which makes them not degrade. Illegal (hacking) programs, for which there are MANY MORE... require you to buy a new copy every month to keep them up at six, thus costing about, oh, 6k every month to maintain the highest standard of programs?
