Since you asked, the reasons we don't make 220 more copies of the
Macintosh Pascal disk and give every student his own are: 

    1) that would be piracy (so we can't do it in good conscience)

    2) the disk is very well copy protected (so we can't do it at all)

Reason 1) is enough to restrain those us administering the course from
distributing illegal copies.  But if it were not for reason 2), and we
had put 40 unprotected copies into circulation, I'm sure there would
indeed be an additional 220 copies (at least) by now.  This is simply
because many people don't recognize piracy as a bad thing, just as they
don't recognize xeroxing parts of a copyrighted book as a bad thing.
