- Again, MORALS and LAWS vary greatly, I believe in Spain or somewhere there
- abouts, there is no such thing as copywritten software, it's a free for all,
- and it is acceptable to do such things. Again, I said I do *NOT* condone
- piracy, I can mearly see both sides of the story. And yes, I am quite
- capable of making up my own mind [some consider me stubborn or pig-headed
- 8-) ]
-
-
- Now, please note that the Spain example is here-say, and mearly an
- example of how things differ/ are not the same for all.
