here's something i was thinking about, and i'm wondering what others think.
a) what is piracy?
b) what is bootlegging?
c) is there a difference between bootlegging and piracy?
what i'm getting at is, is it piracy that hurts the software industry or is
it bootlegging? i am under the understanding that bootlegging of music is
what keeps DAT (Digital Audio Tape) in such an uproar. (btw. by bootlegging,
i mean copying disks, printing labels and docs, and selling the program as
if it were new. ) (by piracy i mean 'cracking' a program and proliferating
it through BBS's)
anyone care to comment?
thanks..
