Hello Luchezar, >>> It's not worth a penny because it can be freely downloaded from Vietnam >>> (I posted the URL here ;-) >> >> I know bulgarians think that way.

Billions of flies can't be wrong' >> It's still theft. > It would be a theft if I *move* the files. If I copy them, I don't deprive > anybody form anything. The whole nature of information allows copying sorry - no. information is as much a product as a car or a house, and it costs similar effort. and the people who made this product must be paid - some way or the other. just because you can technically copy it (whithout causing me any direct harm) does NOT imply you MAY do that. please accept the fact, that there is FREE information, and for some other information you have to pay, or you will kill the producer in the long run (because he will starve to death) > Quite the contrary, corporations steal our money when they ask us to buy > their software. it's simple as that: they want your money IF you use their software. they offer you a deal, which you can accept - or deny. stop using their software, and you don't have to pay them a dime. > Copyright is dying, long life copyleft! ;-) I assume your company produces some sort of (hardware) gadget, that it sells - which in the end ends up as salary in your pockets. I wonder what happens if I rip off your gadgets design and internal software, 'reengineer' the gadget, produce it myself (at much lower cost as I don't have to pay the engineers), and sell it at a price below your gadget. probably neither your employer nor you what be very glad in the end. tom ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Freedos-kernel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-kernel
