So, you are basically saying: let's pirate folks as long as you help grandma
crossing the street. Marvin, a pirate is a pirate, and your reasoning is
ridiculous at best. If you still haven't realized how much harm he did to the
Apple II (namely by pissing off most developers except for those he might
profit from), then I'm wondering what else he has to do until you consider him
a pirate. The few newbies he showed the way to the system software at
ftp.apple.com is something many out there would have done, too.
