You win! ;-) Thanks, Isaac. Reading a little more from this quote, I think he is being irrational. The exact same argument could apply to copying any digital media -- DVD movies, audio CDs, etc. Does he think it is evil to sell movies on DVD? I don't agree with him. If people couldn't sell their movies, they wouldn't make them. It isn't like that with software, as we can see. A movie might cost $10 million to make and some movies cost more than $100 million. If it were unethical to sell DVDs, they'd show the films in theaters only and they would not print DVDs, but wouldn't we all lose then? Mike
