The fact that I even have to write to you disturbs me, 
since I take it for granted that the overwhelming majority 
of IBM's customers are honest, making every effort to 
purchase software legally.

That said, some of IBM's commercial software is being 
distributed illegally on the Internet.  Recent examples 
include HPFS386 (which can be legally used only if you have 
a license for LAN Server Advanced, Warp Server Advanced or 
SMP Version 4, or the Warp Server for e-business HPFS386 
Option Pak), OS/2 Warp Version 4, Stardock's Object Desktop 
for OS/2 Warp, and other software titles.

This illegal distribution MUST BE STOPPED, and you can 
help.

Please report any instances of software piracy by visiting 
the Internet web site http://www.spa.org/piracy.  Your 
report will be treated confidentially.  You can report 
cases of Internet-based piracy ("online") or other forms of 
piracy ("offline").

Piracy hurts both consumers and software developers.  IBM 
and other software publishers depend on regular revenues to 
fund exciting new technologies, including new Java(TM) 
software.  Denied revenues, software publishers cannot fund 
these needed innovations, nor can they provide adequate 
support to law-abiding customers.  In short, software 
piracy is theft, plain and simple.

Thank you for your help, and thanks for your continued patronage.
