I really believe what that person was being dumped on for, was asking others
to do the copyright violations for him.  If he would have asked to buy old,
ROM's or trade (which he did mention later), all would have probably been
ok.  But, really, he should have just written Tandy, told them what he wanted
to do.  Maybe, they would have said, go for it.  A copyright doesn't mean you
can't copy something and distribute it, you just need to get permission from
the owner of the copyright.  But as I said earlier, the problem is asking
others to violate the copyright laws.
