Well, let's assume for a moment that you're not using a company owned
Xerox machine for your copying.  Your only other real alternative is
to stop by a library/drug store/house of endless copiers and pump off
the sheets at 15 cents a crack.  By that time, considering the size of
some of the novelettes included, you might as well buy another copy of
the game.  Kinda wasteful for a 'pirate', wouldn't you say?  

(Refusing to enter the realm of copyrighted book copying, using
company copying machines for personal gain/use and of course, time 
involved in such an adventure).
