I think these *pirates* that everyone's crying about are/were giving out 
software that is abandoned and in most cases ages old. I've never seen 
any recent software being given away. Of course I guess it doesn't make 
it right. So I guess noone should write anything new for the Apple II 
unless it's freeware. I think a lot of people are making a big deal out 
of very little.
