Is anyone here using an IBM mainframe for personal work?  The rest of us 
work(ed) for companies which probably have legal departements.  That is where 
this discussion belongs.  Or, since mainframes are probably used in some 
hospitals and health insurance companies, we can also discuss the virtues and 
limitations of self-performed amputations.

In what country? Do you have a citation for the section of the US Code
that prohibits creating, as opposed to distributing or performing, a
copyrighted work?
