Try to justify casual use all you like, but a copyright is a copyright, and a license is a license.
Long-time readers know that I am a huge NeXT fan, and that I keep a couple of those machines running at home. Absolutely NO SOFTWARE can be bought today for these machines -- you're lucky to find stuff on eBay even. But just because it cannot be bought anywhere today, and just because no company in existence cares one patootey about any copyright for NeXT software, that doesn't make it legal (whether it is moral is another question) for me to pirate that software. Quite unfortunate for users of vintage systems, but that's the way the law is written today. :( Eagle, on digest PS -- We have Walt Disney and the like to thank for the never-ending copyright. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
