Pirating is not something that should be condoned on
this list.
I don't want to start a battle, so I'm not going to comment beyond this
email...
but... shouldn't "pirating" be something that IS condoned on this list?
At least under the idea of "abandonware". After all, without some degree
of software piracy, it is highly unlikely that a good chunk of the
hardware this list is interested in would have any useful software
available to it.
I very much support the idea of abondonware, and I would think that idea
is very much in this list's interest. However, it is in many cases still
piracy.
