Then why would they require everything but your blood type to download 
their old software?  No other company I know does that and if they 
require my blood to have free copies of their old free software for 
available for free, then take the blood of a guy who is on a fixed 
income with a work related disability living in government housing, 
who's wife has Alzheimer's.  Good press for them, would it?

What is DMCA?  I am not up to all of the alphabet soup names.  Is this 
something like the record industry threating 60 year old ladies with pay 
me $100,000 or I sue you for $10,000,000 and 20 years in jail for 
downloading music that they did not but cannot prove it?
