G'Day John!
 JG>         I wonder sometimes what the point is to debate software piracy?
There is none.  You're either pro, or you're con, typing this message with a
hacked editor.
 JG>         the US gets really "Big brother", if you know what I mean.
Actually... several authors are getting very very good at screwing up 
rates.
Things such as hard drive overwrites and ugly viruses deliberately placed in
the program come to mind.  With a simple disclaimer that even a lawyer 5
minutes off the bench can write, it's all legal too.
I do none of the above.  Then again, I don't care too much either.  If
someone's going to rip me off for the penny ante money that I'm getting, then
they've lost money by hacking it :-)
