	I don't believe that is the case for a number of reasons.

	First:	 The request was for a copy of copyrighted material.

	Second:  If they bought the game, they would have it.  If
		 it was lost, the could call Infocom.  Infocom would
		 send a new copy of the booklet.  That is provided
		 that the software was registered.

	Third:	 Cars are not priated, they are stolen.  There is a
		 difference.
