It's not all that surprising really. It's a lot less likely that a Xeroxed Copy that's been paid for with real $$$ that has a real, printed copyright notice will be pirated than a virtual .pdf document.

I'd frown upon these becoming free for the download and enthusiastically eradicate ANY mention of such activities here. We're not talking about the illegality of something as simple as a big, successful company abandoning support for/access to older revs of a product or even a relatively small software company that went under in terms of a so called abandonware product here. We're talking about a SERVICE operation that an individual is still attempting to maintain informally on an ongoing basis, recouping some of the money he probably lost when his business went under.

You just don't steal from people like that. I'm not saying that that's what you were doing . . . NJ, I'm just stating that it would be absolutely, positively UNCOOL for anyone here to even suggest doing such a thing.

If anyone wants to use that hard-won information, ante up! >
