You professional installers are all arguing the wrong points. If I buy the remote on gray market, or used on eBay, download the software from a torrent site, and do a lousy setup, you say that makes the profession look bad. Well, if I buy the remote from one of you, and you send me the link to download the software, and I do a lousy setup, how is that any different from the perspective of your profession?
The only valid point is this: Hardware has value, and software has value. Acquiring either one without the proper license is theft. The thief has no "right" to the product unless he/she is willing to pay the appropriate fee, whether it is separate, or included in the price of the product, as it is in the case of the URC remotes.
Can it be any simpler than that?
