- Uhh ... looks like we have an interesting discussion going on here.
- Several people have indicated they don't condone piracy, and don't
- buy the "try it before you buy it" rationale, because of the rampant
- and lenient return policies of the vendors they deal with. Please post
- the names of these vendors for the rest of us. I've had several (1 is
- too many) situations where I was refused the right to return software within
- days of purchasing it. While this is not reason enough for me to pirate,
- it IS sufficient reason to change vendors. Who are the good guys? And
- we're talking mail order here too.
