Even worse the little hypocrite (Mr. Dickey) posts stuff about 
copyrights himself in comp.sys.atari.st. 

Mr. Logajan himself, creator of the Coercion discussion has with some
really brain-damaged ideas tried to prove a point and failed and tried
again and failed again (see following). I proclaim the discussion about
Copyrights and Coercion hereby OVER. As any substance to it has been
ELIMINATED. 
Thank you for tuning in to this discussion and Good Bye.

Personal to Mr. Logajan: Please try comeback tries first to the
loveletters and hatemail address down there, before corrupting innocent
minds with this cruft. Thank you.
*** END-OF-FLAME ***

( Copying in itself is not illegal and doesn't help us with the discussion
 about software & copyrights. Rephrase this..)
Anyone who initiates the illegal copying of software from another cannot
object to the illegal copying of his software.
This says : "That a pirate shouldn't be pissed of if his (copyprotected)
software is copyied illegally from someone else"

Now , what does that have to do with Copyrights in the MAJORITY of cases ?
Nil Zippo Nothing.
