I think the hackers are motivated primarily by the challenge, and perhaps the notoriety of playing Robin Hood, providing something people want but perceive they cannot afford. $200 is sufficient motivation, obviously not just for personal use though. The Grammarly people are worried enough about it to demand a credit card which they acknowledge scares off customers part way through the free trial registration. There should be out the box solutions to ordinary commerce problems like this. I am endlessly astounded by how inept and fraud-friendly commerce is, particularly the credit card. see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/creditcard.html -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Students who hire or con others to do their homework are as foolish as couch potatoes who hire others to go to the gym for them.
