- The difference between this and copying software is that when you copy
- software you get an exact copy. If you copy music from CD to tape you get
- a copy that's not as good as the original. Sure, I have copied music that
- way some times, but more often than not I rather go buy the CD because I
- want the original quality.

- To the guy who started this thread :
- (because he wanted help, NOT to start another piracy discussion)
- I suggest you contact FAST and report the pirate. I am sure
- they would take action. That's what their there for, isn't it?
-
- Here's a motto :
- "Hurt a pirate today, you may want to get paid for your
- software tomorrow."
