Deny it or shrug it off if you will, but the fact remains that for all
of your whining, you just want to prevent people from having something
to play with.

There is no need, and I've never said there was.

If you plan to kill someone, you go to prison.  If you plan to let
people download pirated warez, it is PIRACY.  "but fe systems are
cool.  they are fun to chat with and they let me have the latest
version of bernie pirate-ware".  go back to your chat room.

Where's your proof?  What's the serial numbers on your GS?  We'll need
a picture to verify.  how did you copy the ROM?  Your assurance isn't
anything.

My hobby is the Apple II.  Your hobby is being a thorn in the side of
the Apple II "community"

He knows he's a pirate.  Why not go over to his discussion group of
choice and voice your anti-piracy battle?


> Sigh.. That IS the law, Bob.

Sigh, FE Systems is a pirating bunch of scum.  Go get em!

You're a joke.  Apple Inc. doesn't enforce its' copyright on its ROMS,
so its okay (although illegal) to pirate them?  ok.

I've know peoples then ok not too.  You've know dense people?  Sounds
like it rubbed off on you.

Yeah, you agree it is illegal, but you say it's okay  (not continuing
your anti-piracy battle against ROM downloading is the same thing as
saying it's okay)

""
Copying ROMS from machines you don't own is illegal.  But to
equate a one time download with the blatant and unrepentant
distribution of hundreds of megs of commercial software is
quite a long stretch.  But you Turlettes have lots of
practice stretching the truth.  ;)
""

Words in your mouth?  I didn't know I had telepathic abilities, and I
didn't even know that I thought that!  So you think that piracy does
not equate to piracy?

You say in the quote that it is not piracy to download one thing (ROM)
illegally, but it is not okay to download lots of software

I'm no turlette.  Eat antifreeze and get really sick

Bob

ps can't you think of anything more intelligent than "turlette"?  Vogon
has some meaning to it.  turlette?  a female turl?  get a life
