I'm with Gary on this. There is no manufacturing involved (okay, maybe burning a CD). There are no third party bits that need to arrive from China: Mounts, power supplies, connectors, etc.... I don't understand how hard it is to put a CD into a soft-pack and pop it in the mailbox. Likewise with running a script to obtain the license key for people. It makes no sense. Andy_con manufactures, Edison manufactures and several others manufacture. They get their products out on time. My Spaghetti dongle arrived in just a few days after I ordered it. If you put $20 into a shoebox for every week that it takes to get your LSX order, you would easily have enough for the "more expensive" stuff out there and wouldn't even feel the sting from the cost.
Again, I am not knocking the product. As we all have seen, it can do some great things. I don't condone piracy AT ALL but it almost makes more sense to pirate LSX and then send Andrew the money for your pirated copy!
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
