On supposed BG:EE "cracks" and "keygens"...

Hi folks,
recently it's come to our attention that there have been a few links to some sort of supposed crack for BG:EE and/or CD-Key generator.
Needless to say, if only because we don't HAVE cd-keys in our game, as well as the basic nature of our very light DRM (which we've detailed extensively!), these things are complete and total malarkey.
It seems as though whoever has made this stuff is spreading instead some sort of phishing attempt - please DO NOT download these things whatever the case, as it may compromise your personal data and cause all sorts of problems which we cannot be held responsible for. If you notice one that's up, feel free to pass it along to me via private message and I'll try and get YouTube or whoever's hosting it to take it down. I've closed this thread to avoid mistaken links to anything in the contents here.
The bottom line is this: if you're determined to pirate our game, we can't stop you. We humbly ask you to pay for it if you like it, as we're a very small company despite the big names involved. Although we can't condone it, please at least do whatever you're going to do safely if nothing else - we want you to play our game, and we would like to be paid for our hard work so that we can make more awesome stuff if you find you like playing our game, but above all else we DON'T want you to get your identity stolen and DON'T want you to get your computer compromised by unscrupulous individuals.
So, the obvious choice is just to buy our game legitimately off our website!
Thanks for your time.
