Ed,

>And believe it or not, regardless of lax enforcement of the law in your country, I (and I suspect other people, too) consider your request morally and ethically objectionable. From my perspective, you're about as low on the evolutionary scale as alleged members of the human species come - nothing more than a common thief, and not a terribly bright or subtle one at that.

I know we've talked about this before and though I agree with your standpoint, your statement is what aggresive. I certain reject the way Larry is trying to get this software, but you have to face the fact that ALL of us at least has broken the copyright laws once.

When I was a informatics student, didn't have enough money to buy Windows 3.11 legally, so I placed a Windows copy on my machine. While you could reject this, there is also an other side to this: The illegal copy is still some sort for advertisement. Later when I started my company, I bought all the licenses of the illegal software i had.

Still occasionally, some friend comes with a illegal product, I look at it.. If I eally like this, i'll buy it else I'll remove it. I really hate having expensive licenses for software which i'll not be using.

The problem with buying software is that you'll never know if it's going to forfill your expectations, that's why I love demo's which work for about a month.

Walter,
