  Well, this is a complicated problem and I'm not sure what I really think
about piracy versus program protection.

  I know that ${Jordan Marsh:-your local department store} raises its price
somewhat on each item sold to compensate itself for shoplifting.  Is Jordan
Marsh ripping me off when I buy a shirt there?  Am I being ripped off when
they install buzzer-gizmos to reduce shoplifting? In what way is commerce
in software fundamentally different or fundamentally the same as the above?
