I'm sure we could continue this to and fro ad nauseum, but I am done

I got pulled over for speeding once. I didn't attempt any lame
justification as to why my illegal act was somehow moral, and thus
acceptable behavior.
Oh, and for the record, every piece of software on all three computers
in my house ... every piece, without exception ... is a legal, licensed
copy.
I gained a lot of respect for intellectual property laws when I started
producing software myself.

statistically valid sample, however. That I, one person, suddenly
developed morals and respect where intellectual property is concerned
is no guarantee of this happening in general, which is what his entire
'argument' is based on.
And since he's applying his argument very specifically to what he
imagines is best for Borland, my case is a very poor example - I
purchased every copy of a Borland product that I ever used. Up front.
Even the one I used in my first programming class ump{*word*249} years ago.
That's not a testament to Leroy's position, but rather to Borlands much
cheaper pricing in days past.
