I have friends who work there. I am a staunch anti-piracy advocate. I am also a MS OEM System Builder, a MS Partner Account Holder, and hold various other partner accounts with companies like Adobe, Trillian, Jasc, and Macromedia. Piracy is the main reason software is so bloody expensive. Eliminate it, and software prices will come down. If you would like all the stats for the rising costs of varying things due to piracy, I have them. I get a bulletin each week about it. I have also lost friends over my views on piracy. I firmly believe that even when a program is given away as freeware there is still a cost factor involved whether it be time, money, or a combination of both. You get paid for the work you do, and those who make software/music/movies should get paid as well. Piracy is theft no matter what way you put it. Peter
