Are you all there up top? What revenue? If you can't buy an Apple II 
version from them, how can they be losing any revenue? 

When it *was* available, there were probably 10 pirated copies for every 
copy of Wizardry sold. *Now* Sir-Tech are going to hire some 
expensive lawyers and call in the FBI over a product they don't sell any 
more?

Yeah right. If the FBI really wanted to waste their time 
and close down a site with 10 year old pirated software for a dead 
computer, all that would need to be done is to move the archive offshore, 
where the FBI have no jurisdiction.
