Here's something more that struck me while reading the message.
If a program is in development and is not copyrighted yet (well it aint
finished) and someone from the company spreads it ... are we REALLY
talking about piracy here .. what laws (copyright,TM,R) are making
it illegal ....

What amazes me about piracy is that it seems to me like
it all starts from WITHIN the software houses!
