What I meant by this was that the Copyright Cops will only go after those who illegally copy the items made by big corporations and other friends of the enforcers. Netscape and Oracle are Friends of Bill, so they'll get quick attention. Joe Blow will be put on hold.
Of course, most of your CDs are made by Disney-Sony-Megacorp, who are also Friends of Bill. On the other hand, one extra backup copy of FooBar Development Tool will get you.

And now I need to go mount that Leupold scope on my new Remington 700 .308 sniper rifle....just the thing to reach out and touch someone.
I hope you didn't make a backup Xerox(tm) of the manual - it's part of that $1500 munitions system, and obviously most of the value is in the intellectual property, not the boring metal.... Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
