- Can we do anything to stop people from trying to inflate the value of
- their used computers by advertising harddisks "full of software" worth
- "thousands of dollars"?
-
- We KNOW they are keeping the original software and manuals.
-
- How about when someone sells old software without manuals or old
- versions which have been upgraded...
-
- While I personally would like to redefine software piracy to mean the
- prices charged by software monopolies, for the time being watching all
- these messages go by feels like aiding and abetting.
-
- Or maybe I'm wrong and its just a free speech issue???
