- Well, if you doubt that this is the _stated_ reason FTP Software implemented
- copy protection, you are wrong. That is a direct quote (ok, paraphrased
- _slightly_ since its been so long since the conversation took place) from FTP
- Software personnel. We had quite a long discussion on this issue, publicly,
- in this newsgroup.
-
- If you doubt that that is the _true_ reason copy protection was implemented
- then you and I agree.
-
- If you doubt this is B.S. then you are welcome to your opinion.
