This is how I see it.  I realize the situation, I read the thread on Amigaworld.net.  I guess Stephen is not avail.  And I see that iBrowse is still being developed further.  Then IMHO what they should do is offer a keyfile for iBrowse 2.4 to the Amiga Community (or at a minimum to people that had previous versions--like myself!)  That way they can take their time to sort all this out, get a distributor, locate Stephen, etc...  I know stuff happens and in this small market it will not be a fast process.  But this way there is no cracking going on, and no spreading of pirate keyfiles!!!
Just my two cents really!
