Presence of commercial software on physik?
I have yet to see one piece of copyright infringement from physik!

This is in stark contrast to AB20 which was a hot-bed of copyright
infringement!
The incoming directory at AB20 occasionally contained pirated commercial
software for brief periods of time.  Additionally the euro demos and mods
often contained samples, musics or code which have been blatantly ripped from
commercial programs (usually games).  Of course no one seems to worry about
this sort of infringement... now if i was to imitate or copy a great piece
of art, say a van Gogh... would i be in for a toasting or what?

[Insert the odd smiley in this document, however i refrain from these 
 primary school like habits.]
