Speaking as another software dev guy, I agree totally... EXCEPT in the case of magnetic media, which needs to be backed up by the end user -- but piracy should still be illegal. CD's are much more durable, and as such, don't have this limitation. Also: OIDS on the ST. Mirrorsoft went bust. No backup copy. Bugger. No Oids. Simon (NSFMSFT)
