Subject: The Santarini Report in EDN Magazine about EDA Piracy in China

Hey John,

Just back from my vacation.  Here's my piracy piece.

                 http://www.edn.com/article/CA633440.html

It includes among other things Altium's chairman saying the Chinese
government rips off his software to design weapons and the Synopsys attorney
saying customer indemnification isn't worth the paper it is written on.  The
piece highlights the potential pitfalls of using stolen or pirated software.

Hope all is well with you.
