Honestly, wouldn't it cost way more to go AFTER them, assuming you
could ever even collect? PLus you'd have to go after them in their
state, am I right?
Also out of curiousity, why would someone give a hoot about protecting
*vintage* software -- say from the 1980's? Why would someone NOT
want to just let it go freeware for the sake of good community?

It really is not that hard, there are both Federal and International
laws in place. I belong to the Software Publishers of America and they
have legal staff that handle most cases. In the one case I went after
someone, he told me to go stuff it, well I really did not get must out
of it, but it did bring the world onto him. It is up to the copyright
owner if the feel it is worth the work, even on old programs, movie and
record companies protect their right, if you don't then you lose the
right to them
