- Warez groups count for a relativly small amount of the software
- piracy out there. Most piracy is friends copying friends disks. Most of
- these people don't know how to fake CD calls and such. Obviously it's
- not going to get rid of all piracy, but I for one am willing to accept
- that minor pain in order for ARDI to get more of the credit (ie $) they
- deserve.
