	But if he's bought the game, what's wrong with pirating it then?
(In a previous message I explained how I feel pirating can be "good" to test
ou software, but I won't get into that in more detail here).

	And please don't give me some lame analogy like "well if I buy one
car, then I can steal another".. I don't think that's the same at all.

	Besides, on the pirated versions you sometimes get crack screens
that are more interesting than the games themselves! (heh heh. just kidding..
with the possible exception of Gauntlet GS, my eternal example of GS
crudware)
