   Am I "controlling" asimov? No, I'm trying to respect the last
stated wishes of the author/company involved. If you truly feel that
they'd be receptive to people copying them, then ask them *FIRST*. Not
later. If these "archivers" had ANY respect for anyone else, they'd do
that. From what evidence I've seen, they're not doing that. Therefore,
(1) They have zero respect for the programmer's wishes, and (2) Are
pirating. Thus, Asimov is guilty on moral and legal grounds.
