[PCR-1000] Pirate Software (Vaguely on-topic)

[Bryce Ringwood]

Hi folks,

I'm sure there are a few software developers like me on the list. When
people use my software without paying for it, then its like your
employer making you work without paying you .. so please don't steal :)

Quite often you will find "free software" (Free/Libre OSS) available
some of it quite good and very often the source code is available for
you to modify. This may have been developed by Universities, or by
people who just write software for fun or as part of the hobby.

Closing down a particular web-site isn't going to work, and I gave up
dongles too. Its a matter for everyone's own conscience.

My 2d worth - Bryce
