Dear Cathy, I have received your spam, sent on 9/9/97. Unfortunately your email 

was a little imprecise: 

  	this site is NOT "distributing your products on the Web", legally 

  or illegaly. In fact there is absolutely no need to distribute them 

  even more. There has never been such a need: the "Bonamico" copy is 

  everywhere and Numega itself has recently distributed all its products to 

  the world with a "trial" protection so silly that one wonders if you 

  actually WANTED your products distributed to every looser for free 

  (as if, I repeat, it would have been difficult to find complete pirated

  copies of any Numega product on the Net... there was NO NEED to reverse 

  engineer your trial in order to have a perfect complete working copy 

  of whatever product you have... we have done it just for the fun!). 

       I'll speak only for my own site: not a single copy of your product 

  has been distributed from this pages where, on the countrary, I have 

  always publicly written that people should even "buy" your product.

  This by the way is jolly nice of us, since in the reality -I repeat- 

  your prouct can be gathered everywhere (but here) for free... yes kids, 

  even version 3.2... I just did a stupid ftpsearch and found two of 

  them :-)

  You write also that you "monitor illegal sites frequently" (Gee... I 

  would really love to have a job like that!). 

  Well, you do not seem to be very well informed.

  This is NOT an illegal site. Reverse engineering is NOT illegal. 

  Protection busting is NOT illegal. Removing protections from a 

  target that you have legally obtained (bought, or as shareware, or

  as "trial ware, like your programs), is NOT illegal. Screwing or 

  re-writing or modifiyng or nuking, or hitting with a mace alien 

  code is NOT illegal... 

  It's exactly what your own researchers, at Numega, are doing all 

  the time, ask them, watch them, grow up for God's sake. And since 

  you are at it, Cathy, you may as well ask them why the hell are 

  complete unprotected registered versions of ALL Numega's products

  being kept on your own public anonymous FTP server, another of the 

  many facts that you don't seem to be aware of.

        I'll now repeat to you, Cathy, what I have always written yet

  -alas- you do not seem to have never read (which is bad, since I 

  believe that there are not many sites on the web where Numega gets 

  so much real feedback -and so much praise- as here at fravia's... 

  therefore you are probably NOT doing your "monitoring" job very well, 

  dear Cathy, time to fire you, may be) here it is: 

  Anybody that is seriously into reverse engineering should BUY 

  softice (as I have done long ago) and THEN crack it black and 

  blue. 

  Anyway I'll monitor your site frequently to ensure compliance 

  with reality.

                              Fravia
