The most practical reason for not advocating piracy or any other illegal
activity is that info-apple's primary distribution is made from host
smoke.brl.mil, a government-owned (i.e. owned by the taxpaying public)
computer.  The rules for using our machines are made by other agencies
and are much less tolerant than those at universities.  If the wrong
person gets wind that illegal acts are being advocated over a government
owned network and government owned hosts, they very likely would shut
down info-apple, at least from this host and on the Milnet.

Sorry, but that's the way it is.
