If this is true as you say, have you considered contacting EBay and sharing this information with them. I am sure they would not like pirating going their site, and they would appreciate your input.

I didn't use the counterfeit software, after I realized it was garbage' I bought the software directly from Mach 3 web site. I am not justifying anything, I just had no idea it was counterfeit. The End!

I think I found a solution to my problem for E-Stop, it is a USB modified Staples Easy Button.  So far it is working good for quick stop. The board uses a simple Arduino code.

I think to be fair to the purchaser you have to consider their position. I have bought different kinds of electronic equipment and often they have sample or limited versions of other companies software. They are a cooperation to give you the ability to use the piece of equipment and to introduce another's compatible software.  When I bought my Chinese CNC Router, I had no idea what I was getting in to and was going for the challenge. So the softwre that cam with it at the time I had no idea it was bootlegged software.  Whether it is legal or not, The Chinese business people have a peculiar way of doing things, As Americans we do things a certain way, which the world may not do thing the same way. So when we get products from off shore, we tend to be more relaxed about the ways other my except things. So when I tried to load the software and a bunch was in Chinese, I went to the Mach 3 sight to compare, which was clearly in English, so I bought the real deal. I didn't know till later that the Chinese disk was bootleg. So point is, sometime the customer is not aware of these issues till later like myself.
