>Besides, Mike, after long acquaintanceships one can usually tell which individuals honor their word, their character and their Faith.

My Mom, the sweetest, most morally honest lady in the world (ok, I'm biased), didn't give a thought to using the same copy of Windows and Office on both her home and office machines, until I pointed out to her that it's illegal. In fact, _most_ of the people I know don't give a second thought to it, usually because they never even thought about it being illegal.

I've even been on site at small businesses and learned that they owned only a single copy of MS Office that was installed on all the machines there. It's not a matter of moral character (in most cases), it's a matter of people not knowing that it's illegal, much less wrong.

I don't know if things are different in Nebraska, if you just hang out with an unusual crowd, or if you are choosing to ignore evidence to the contrary for the sake of your argument, but you've got the picture _all_ wrong with regard to the prevalence of casual copying.

Uh, ok...
