I deleted a post that contained a link to a place where people could download professional software.

Actually my >instincts say they are _not_ pirating but I can't confirm this. Until someone >who actually _knows_ one way or the other I expect these posts to be pulled once >again. I don't know if the site is good or bad, but since the author doesn't have obvious bootlegs there I'd be inclined to leave it. This may be in the same category as the Genius programs you can get there, legally. If anyone connected with Hiarcs asks us to delete this thread, I will do it. >If anyone does have info on this site, speaks the language etc. please tells us >before the moderaters decide in best interest of ICD and CCC to pull the link >as they may have no choice without further information. Yes, I wish people would ask the appropriate people rather than posting a link here and asking. If people don't know if it's legal or not, they shouldn't be posting it. bruce > >Thanks! > >Regards, > Terry McCracken > >P.S. >Guys if you must pull these posts, go lightly on us!;) We just want to know >the legitimacy of the of this site. It would be nice to resolve this issue.
