I never trust anyone who uses "off of" in a sentence.

Guy (?) is a thief. You did right to call him on this.

So are folks able to get a hold of and copy non-copyable scripts yet?

People with enough knowledge can copy anything. The only thing you can do is put as many obstacles in their way as possible.........at least that may keep the average user honest. It won't keep a determined thief from copying or stealing anything.

It's also entrely liely that he wasn;t going to copy it, just run off with it. I've heard so many complaints from people of this kind of behavior over the years. Akin to IRL handing a camera to a stranger to take your picture and he just runs off with it...

People KNOW there is nothing SL will do about it so...

What, you didn't trust them to give it right back? Lol.

Another person confusing 'need' with 'want.'
