RE: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 10, Issue 1611

First, I'm not in the US. For everyone in the US, this is why the US is
going down the crapper - I'm not a pirate! If the stupid SOPA legislation
goes in, move the list off shore like all the other jobs in the US. Then
everyone can debate it etc. Totally off topic but sorry that's what's wrong
in the US now!

I'm not trading movies, I'm a hobbyist at home wanting to try out some new
software on a box I freely bought on EBay. Heck what is SOPA even worried
about? Oh I bought a machine, and I'm running it for play purposes at my
house and may have some software I have to install every 70 days because I
have no license! Its sure going to affect IBMs bottom line isn't it!!
Heck, I might find some neat stuff out and be able to influence a sale in
the future!!! Imagine that!!

If IBM doesn't want experimenters playing with these machines, they should
stop letting people buy them on eBay!! You already need a license key to-do
anything commercial on it... please this entire thing about oh licensing
makes me laugh.

If anyone from IBM is monitoring this list, please get in touch. I'd super
love to license the software legally for the box so I don't have to
re-install every 70 days. And, judging from the people who have got in touch
with me.. I'm not the only one...



Regards

But it would not stop someone from making a complaint which could
arbitrarily get the web site shut down without notice and without a hearing.
