- I recall reading an article in the Wall St. Journal the other day
- about the fact that piracy is now a federal offense (correct me if I
- don't have the exact label) and that many pirates are now pulling out
- of BBSs and otherwise curtailing their activities. I'm sure this
- won't stop John Doe from copying a game from his friend, but the
- penalties are definitely more severe now. Bad time to be starting
- this thread - and using names!
