Sorry but I don't agree: 1) Your list of exemples looks like comparing cows and horses. You cannot copy hardware (cars, computers etc.) like you can copy software. Therefore you have nothing to pay to a manufacturer if you sell your used car/comp. etc. 2) Selling software is a different piece of cake. But selling the original (no copies!) software, complete as you purchased, without keeping/using a copy is quite legal. > You put time and money into creating something. Somebody breaks in and > steals it, and possibly copies it and gives it to others. Do you care? See above. HTH, Jo -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
