I second that.  It's not quite the same market, since it's easy to
restrict applications for use on one computer, or check the network to
make sure multiple copies with the same serial numbers aren't running.

But I wonder how many millions of dollars were lost due to software
piracy in the Apple II community?  And what would be substantially
different now if that money _wasn't_ lost?
