s is sort of an ethics question but it came to mind when I read on comp.sys.apple about a company that went bankrupt and someone picked up one piece of their software but not all... This is the scenario: Suppose I wanted a great program for my Apple II that was made a long time ago by a company that is now defunct. The product has gone the path of the unsupported software and there is no way to contact the company to get the product... At what point in this search is it allowable to copy the software from a friend that happens to have it? Is it ever legal? Even if it is illegal, is it immoral? On a slightly related sidenote.. What ever happened to ProTree Software? Is there any way to get in contact with the creator of the program (Bob Garth)?
