Is it piracy if the system produces two memory images of the program at once? Is it piracy if one job is swapped out to disk (you have then, *two* disk copies, one in the swap file)? I use a cp/m 8"SSDD system, the software I purchase is in standard 8" SSSD form, am I a pirate when I convert the distribution density over to my system's unique double density format? Should I be forced to use those programs on a SSSD disk forever?
