 JR> Most people profess to dislike piracy.  Most seem to think that Elite
 JR> boards have no place.  Almost everyone states that software authors
 JR> should be paid for their time/work/knowledge.
 JR> How many NON-BUSINESS people buy 2 copies of WP (or lotus, etc) for
 JR> each of their kids' PCs?
 JR> Do people consider buying one copy, but installing it on 2 different
 JR> machines, piracy?
 JR> If you have 2 kids with computers, and each would like to play Quake,
 JR> would you buy two copies?  If not, is this piracy?
     Of course not!  I'd only have one computer!
     But seriously, I think it's pretty stupid that way.  One copy
     is sufficient.  I wouldn't give the game or program, software,
     (whatever you want to call it) to anybody beyond the walls of
     the house.  Or home.
