You must be kidding.  When I was a college student, there were approximately
5 or 6 ST BBS's in New York City.  They were ALL pirate BBS's.  That's
right, they were ALL pirate BBS's...100% of them!  I knew several of the
sysops and I was a cosysop on one of them.  When I found out about the
piracy, I started deleting the files as they were uploaded.  After getting
yelled at by the head sysop, I quit.  They used to have meetings where 
they would literally conspire together so that they didn't "waste" disk
space on the same pirated files.

Perhaps, the real reason we "sing our song" is because we get better
quality and value for our bucks....

Regards,

Chris
