I recall reading an article in the Wall St. Journal the other day
about the fact that piracy is now a federal offense (correct me if I
don't have the exact label) and that many pirates are now pulling out
of BBSs and otherwise curtailing their activities.  I'm sure this
won't stop John Doe from copying a game from his friend, but the
penalties are definitely more severe now.  Bad time to be starting
this thread - and using names!
