Upon a second reading, it is clear that there are 2 ways to interpret the post. One is that he legally owns most of the CB products and the rest he has illegally(pirated). The second interpretation is that he only owns most of the CB products and the products he does not own, he does not have physical possession of in his computer. It is possible that I may have misinterpreted the somewhat ambiguous sentence and accused Mr. Urbelz of being a member of some obscure cartel engaging in illegal pirating. If that is the case, my sincere apologies and a reminder to others not to post when one is falling asleep.
