- You must be kidding. When I was a college student, there were approximately
- 5 or 6 ST BBS's in New York City. They were ALL pirate BBS's. That's
- right, they were ALL pirate BBS's...100% of them! I knew several of the
- sysops and I was a cosysop on one of them. When I found out about the
- piracy, I started deleting the files as they were uploaded. After getting
- yelled at by the head sysop, I quit. They used to have meetings where
- they would literally conspire together so that they didn't "waste" disk
- space on the same pirated files.
-
- Perhaps, the real reason we "sing our song" is because we get better
- quality and value for our bucks....
