A GROUP of people who were given thousands of dollars under the table and in campaign contributions decided that it is anti-social. For about the same reason that the Stealth bomber program has programs in 48 out of the 50 states. It may be *MORALLY* wrong to pirate software. It may be *MORALLY* wrong to charge $50 for a non-working piece of junk too. But, in either case, just because a majority of people in Washington deciding to make it illegal doesn't make it morally wrong to pirate software. Think for yourself. Not all laws are good. The less of them the better. -- Stephen McLeod, native Texican | Interests: SF/Gaming, French, the SCA, Vote Spock, the logical choice | Computers, and friendly people This Space for Rent | So... whadayou wanna be when you grow up?
