Hi everybody,
This post is from zev. He's having problems posting again, so he sent it to me to post it for him.

From the feb 15 2001 wt QFR:[q]Some businesses and schools purchase
multiple-user licenses that stipulate a maximum number of users allowed to
use the program. In 1995, congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses discussed an
article that included this counsel:
"Most companies that prepare and sell computer programs copyright these, and
they provide a license outlining how the programs can legally be used The
license usually says that the owner cannot give to others copies of the
program; in fact, international cop~ right law makes it illegal to do so.
Some large firms sell computers containing preinstalled and licensed
programs. However; certain computer stores do not provide licenses because
the programs they preinstall are illegal copies, meaning that the purchaser
violates the law in using the programs. Related to this, Christians
should avoid puffing onto, or downloading from, electronic bulletin boards
material that is copyrighted (as are the Society's publications) and that is
being copied without legal permission from the owners."[/q]
Whats next J-dubs? A Banning from internet use? Ever notice the queer looks
you get when you mention "surfing" or the "internet" at the kh?
Mother Borg, please, embelish us with yet more words of wisdom.
