In article <cYLscby00WB64AAJAO@andrew.cmu.edu> al1f+@andrew.cmu.edu (Andy A. Le>     You have just brought yourself a lawsuit with your "Meobius patch
>(deprotection) and warning" message.  How?  First, publically you admitted
>that you 'alternated' the Moebius source code without written permission of
>the author.  Such alternation is in DIRECT violation of the copyright law.

Please don't waste bandwidth unless you have at least *some* idea of
what you're talking about.  According to the above, I can't even make
notes in a book I have bought.  This is just plain silly.

>Second, it would be extremely easy for any lawyer to prove that your message
>causes Moebius's author to loose sale on the software.

How? by producing witness who swear that this message caused them to
steal the software?

>irresponsible, and stupid.  Think twice next time you decide to boast...

Um, er, wasn't there some law or another about "freedom of speech"?
No?  Oh--sorry.
