RE: ETKA CD's Sub list?
Discretion is the better part of valour.
Consider this; there is no screening of any kind for members on this list -
your message and the rest here have, or could have been glanced over by
someone filing this info for future reference. How about a trade mark or
patent attorney looking for some easy money - "Hey LexCom look what I have
prepared here, I've already prepared the case and will take 30% of any
winnings..."
Be careful what you write, this is not a private conversation, your
assumption about large corporations using pirated software risk free is
anything but that. More and more are being caught and fined - big-time! If
you are a small fish in this big pond it's likely no one will ever bother
you about copyright infringement - it's not worth their time. If you have
some valuable assets that's another matter. For your own sake and other's
here "Zip-it! - Zip-it good!"
Archive - friend or foe?

very very small fish - guppy... baby guppy... OK?

Maybe best not to do it all then, seems to me there is too much worry to be
worth the aggro. How about those who have it by various means setting up
some kind of sub list so that those who don't can post to it with there
questions?
I still find it difficult to believe that there is all this anxiety over
being caught, maybe things are different over here in the UK ,or maybe I am
just ignorant of them, if large corporate companies can get away with using
pirated Microsoft software (allegedly) then....... what the hell.
