Hi John!
In John Rambo's message to All on , John Rambo said:

 JR> PCs?
How many do something and whether it's right or wrong are very different :)
 JR> Do people consider buying one copy, but installing it on 2 different
 JR> machines, piracy?
Depends on the licence agreement.  For most software, yes.  Other software is 
more lenient, and installing it on two machines is okay as long as only one 
copy is used at  once.
 JR>  If you have 2 kids with computers, and each would
 JR> like to play Quake, would you buy two copies?  If not, is this
 JR> piracy?
In the case of Quake, yes, it is piracy.
Regards,
Albert
