%AHEM-I-AMBIGUOUS: "Hardware" is ambiguous in this context.

     Hardware must be involved; the Amiga in this case.  However, the "actual"
emulation of the Macintosh does not involve additional hardware.  The loading
of the Macintosh ROMs, however, does involve additional hardware to do it
legally.
     Pirates have successfully (though I highly disapprove) made the A-MAX
emulator entirely disk resident.  This violates proprieTerry copyrights by both
Apple and the producers of A-MAX.
     While I won't mention any names, some people need to be prosecuted.  The
pirate that I know shovels a lot of BS including a fictional "first use law"
that makes piracy legal.  "First use," according to The pirate, allows free
copying of any software (i.e.: computer software, video tapes, music, etc..) as
long as it originally came from a first copy.  Not strange from a rampant
pirate who doesn't personally believe in morals.
