So, the reports are true. Every Macintosh software company in the US is
now an Apple subsidiary....!

No flames, but there are interesting points here. If a company steals software,
why should it bother scanning its employees' disks?  And, as an employee, would
*you* work for a company which insisted on inspecting your Macintosh regularly
to see what software you had on it? I don't think I would.

Probably not subject material for comp.sys.mac.apps, but I find it interesting
anyway.
