121.0. "Look out!" by ELMO::B_LYNCH () Fri May 17 1985 12:44

The following just landed in my mail this morning. Can anyone shed any
light (rather than heat) on this? What's happening?

=========================================================================

Heard a very strong message today about an order that came down direct
from the "KO".  All systems are being gone through with the intent of
finding any pirated software that we don't have license for.  People
caught with copies of such are immediately having their badges taken
and are walked out of the building with a letter handed to them that 
their personal posessions (sp) will be mailed to them at a later date.

This is hot and it's real, we've seen some instance of this on the
3rd floor up here.

Just thought you guys might be interested in passing it on to the 
hackers you know.

Real Hackers don't need to worry as they don't steal code. They look at it and 
write something better!!!


Seriously, This is also being discussed in the easynet notes file and it 
sounds like a bit of over-reaction.
