I've been watching this discussion with some interest. Firstly, I'm sure
95% of us has at one time or another received or given someone a copy of a
commercial piece of software. You can rationalize anything but the fact of
the matter is that Intuit for whatever reasoning does not want to offer
their software over the internet and the consequence of this is that people
outside the US have to pay for it while those inside the US don't. No, this
isn't fare, but if this is the way Intuit decides to treat international
users, that's their choice. Whether or not we decide to go along with what
we deem is an ethical dilemma by substituting our own
ethically-challenged(;-)) actions is a personal decision, but it's certainly
a really unwise thing to use this public mailing list as a means of
propagating software which is legally not allowed. We're just threatening
the existance of this mailing list...
