The PostScript Palatino font is copyrighted and commercial.  Just about
the only reason anyone would want this anyway would be for something
like ATM or Freedom of Press, since it is built in to most (all?)
LaserWriters and many other PostScript printers.

The person is clearly asking for the bitmapped font, however, if you
read the message more carefully:

And, as other people have pointed out, this is not only available at a
local dealer, but Adobe has allowed sumex-aim to make the font available
for (free) FTPing there.

Please try to avoid piracy complaints, especially when they are not true.
