You have the right to load it onto different devices, but extrapolate that
idea. The local board has 66Meg of storage, Why should I not load the program
onto that? It's a device and I can download it whenever I need it. If someone
else downloads it so what? It's mine and I can use it so why bother anyone
else. I hate the idea of copy protection as much as anyone, but why do you
think it is there in the first place? There have been a couple of Amiga boards
shut down locally in recent months for carrying copyrighted software for there
members. Many people braag of never having purchsed software. Most considere
Shareware a joke.

sorry, but this is how I feel.
