<font face="Comic Sans MS">First I want to say I agree with Rusty
that this is a lawyer's dream.<br>
<br>
Keith Smith already posted text from the legislature saying the
software is valuable enough for this to qualify as a class 2
felony.<br>
<br>
You didn't say who did this, but if it's a friend or relative, I'd
suggest you advise them to get rid of the software immediately.
Why? Because somebody else could call the business software
alliance, turn them in and get a big reward.<br>
<br>
If it's somebody you don't particularly like, you can be the one
to make the call and get the reward.<br>
<br>
Just my 2 cents worth. That's actually $1.98 including tax.<br>
