I just received a catalog from a software rental company in Canada.
They rent MacIntosh software at $15 a disk, Apple // software at $8,
and IBM PC software at $10 a disk.  This sounds similar to all the
other companies, right?  But what this company does is to provide the
buyer with COPIES of the original disks sans any documentation.  They
then ask the buyer to erase the floppies after 21 days.  Also, the
cost is by the disk, thus, if a single program needs 2 disks, for
example, you pay $30 for Mac software.  This company seems to have all
the latest software including all Microsoft and Lotus products.  Also,
they are RENTING public domain software such as Red Ryder and a disk
with Finder 4.1 (Apple, are you there?), Megaroids, and BinHex on it.

Now, for the obvious question: Isn't this blatantly illegal or do
Canadians have f***ed-up laws where things like this can be done???
Microsoft and Lotus (and many other large companies) should take legal
action if possible.

The company:
	The Value Club
	#301 - 1084 Homer St.
	Vancouver, B.C. Canada V6B 2W9
	Telephone: 1-800-663-8060


Disclamer: All opinions above are mine alone.  I have no interest in
the above company (obviously) and I have nothing to gain by their
demise (not so obvious).
