- It's me again from Moo U, and I have a important question:
-
- I have a friend on this campus who's the ultimate left-wing supporter
- of copyrights, against piracy et al. He tells me that before buying
- ANY software from anybody here on the net, I should demand that the
- seller produce a software-licence-transfer-agreement form. How
- realistic is this for you out there? How agreeable is everyone,
- (from a legal and ethical standpoint?) I honestly thought that if
- I could sell my friend copyrighted tapes or CD's, couldn't the same
- be applied to software?
-
- Yours Naively,
- L. Imm
