Yep... Difference here is this is an Australian designed and made product. Knowing the developer created this as part of his final year at Sydney University sort of makes your suggestion incredibly under informed. Universities don't generally award degrees to Graduate Engineers who feel the need to steal stuff to create their final year projects. Australians might be an odd lot but stealing what you can get free is someone of an oxymoron... Or did you miss that part of the conversation?
