here's something i was thinking about, and i'm wondering what others think.

a) what is piracy?
b) what is bootlegging?
c) is there a difference between bootlegging and piracy?

what i'm getting at is, is it piracy that hurts the software industry or is
it bootlegging?  i am under the understanding that bootlegging of music is
what keeps DAT (Digital Audio Tape) in such an uproar.  (btw. by bootlegging,
i mean copying disks,  printing labels and docs, and selling the program as
if it were new. )  (by piracy i mean 'cracking' a program and proliferating
it through BBS's)  

anyone care to comment?
thanks..
-paul
