That's kind of an interesting subject we have going on here.
I do not know the answer, but I do remember years ago when I lived in
Denmark and was a very often user of ProComm and Telix where I daily dialed
in to various BBS's around the country.
At first, it was not against the law the put any copyrighted software on the
BBS server, but it was against the law to download it. Later on it got
changed so it was against the law to have it on a server, and if you dialed
in, you were not allowed to upload any copyrighted software.
This brings me even further back to when the Danish telco owned the rights
to phones. Well, it was not illegal for stores to sell other brands, but it
was illegal for customers to buy them.
No matter what the deal is, the fact that we all should remember is that it
is illegal to use copyrighted software without a license. I started out as a
programmer (I'm still programming), and I know how it would suck if people
just copied my software after I had put many hours into it.
Just my $0.02

Subject: RE: Very good web site for CCNA
I am not for anyone commiting theft, so please don't get me wrong. But
this brings up some interesting arguments. Is someone putting a CD in a
publically accessable document root theft? Or does it only become theft
when someone else out there on the Internet decides to download/view
it? And then who is the theif, the person that owns and is exporting the
CD, or the person who does not own and is viewing?
In libraries most works are copywrited, yet they let people check and and
view the books without paying, how is this different? I mean how are
libraries allowed to essentially buy books and then loan them to people
for free............once again, don't take this the wrong way, I own all
my study materials and I find them a great reference, I like new shiny
books with hardcovers :)), but this is a modern day we live in and it
brings up new arguments for the digital millenium, and I don't know all
the answers.
