-> Here is another angle...how many of these commercial products that have so
-> many of these companies screaming foul every time someone  mentions 
"pirate"
-> would be bought in the first place had someone not snagged a copy to try
-> out?
-> Free advertising, it is!
I tend to agree with you concerning business (high-end, as in $$$$$) sftwre.
However, if someone "snags" a copy of a game (or utility), how much business 
is
lost because this copy gets circulated ?
Elite boards (for the most part) have left the area, but the number of sites 
on
the net seem to be growing by leaps & bounds.  What's the Canadian 
perience?
