	So what you are saying is that it is ok for you to steal
	something if it is too hard for you to get it legally.

	Let's face it:
	
		Piracy = Theft
		Theft  = Crime
		Crime  = Punishment

	There is no way to debate it, copying software is stealing
	software.  That is a fact.  It cannot be justified *any* 
	way you look at it.
