The harm that software pirates do

[geoschmo]

Possum,

I have no quarrel with you or anything you have said here. I did see that you started this thread. I thought from the title this would be the appropriate place for these comments.

I am not sure where you got from my post that I was accusing Ubik of pirating. On the contrary, my point was that pirating isn't the problem. The problem is the overall attitude people have about electronic media in general.

Your faith in Ubik is admirable, although how you have reached such a firm conclusion simply on the basis of his comments in these forums is beyond me.

However, I will say again, whether or not he legitmatly purchased a copy of SEIV is irrelevant. It does not give him the right to request a copy of the exe file. I am glad to read that he feels now it was inappropriate, although I have not seen him say that. Perhaps I just missed it?

I am not the judge of Ubik, or anyone else for that matter. I did not intend to make a statement of his morals. I am simply addressing this specific action. And I stand by what I have already said about that.
