I suppose I should jump on the bandwagon and assure the net that the Nova Scotia Atari Computer Users Group (NSACUG) is as squeaky clean as they come. Absolutely no piracy that I am aware of. There is one machine at the meetings which is used for demos, and after the meeting the club librarian uses it to copy library disks. The library by the way is superb and well-maintained, the club maintains a clean BBS for its members, and there is good communication among local sysops (of whom I am one) to warn about software that is disguised proprietary stuff. Honesty pays, as the club gets good support from the local dealer. It also pays on a personal basis -- I have had little trouble borrowing software to evaluate, which would hardly be the case if I consorted with pirates! -- Bill Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division.
