Who would put up with nagging when free alternatives exist (with no
nags)?  Must be masochistic users putting up with Winzip nags.

Just because you choose to steal shareware does not impugn the same
behavior for other users.

Up to 2007, the CEO was making $205K/yr before Corel acquired WinZip.
Yeah, no one bought Winzip and that's why the CEO was making 10 times
your salary.  Uh huh.

I tried hunting down a 2014 annual report for Corel to see if they
delineated the revenue from WinZip sales but didn't find it.  I wasn't
going to dig through the SEC filing about revenue on a shareware product
to argue with a thief.
