Even though this discussion no longer is relevant to the NeXT, this may
be of interest:
In MacWeek 10/9/90 page 10 there is an article on Dennis Hayes arrested
for selling counterfeit Mac ROMs. He made $500,000 since 1988 selling 
128K Mac Plus ROM sets.  These ROMs "were for use in Mac emulators 
for Atari ST and Amiga computers." Dennis now faces fines of up to $775,000 
and 26 years in prison.
