Hello everyone...
   Well, I just got this echo =).  Okay.  If someone was pirating stuff and 
you knew about it, would you:
   
   [A].  Turn the person in, and take the chance of all these "warez" bbsers  
 
         hating you?
   [B].  Turn him in anonomously (sp?) and a chance he will know it was you 
         and do a turn around and TRY VERY hard to say you do it as well when 
 
         you KNOW you do not, though you have a cd-burner :)    ... (This is 
         what I want to do, but since I do NOT pirate anything myself, could  
 
         he make a false acuzation and when they search my household, etc, 
and 
         find nothing, etc, could they still hit me and say "Yeah, you do 
         pirate because you have a cd-r writer"???  
   [C].  Let him ride, and he continues to distribue it.
   I have told him I was going to report him, but then he said this:
       "They cannot do a thing to me, NOW, because I removed em all off       
 
        my board"
   Well, just cause he has em on HIS HD still, he could still be turned in .. 
:)  
   But, I got this echo, because I figured you would (some) be interested in 
helping me out, why others may say, "Don't go tell on him, it shows how much 
of a lamer you are ..."
       Please, any help, info on who to contact, etc would be muchly 
appreciated, because I have like 10 people (sysops) who have "warez" that 
they 
do trading with.   
   Thanks,
       -Aaron
