<h2 id="quotations">Quotations</h2>
<blockquote><p>The SPA should protect the BBS operator from having equipment confiscated. These are computers, not drugs or illegal weapons!  The rationale means any <a href="/facts/PC_Magazine/uPNIj5y0">PC Magazine</a> reader suspected of having pirated software may have a PC confiscated. As in <a href="/facts/Joseph_Stalin/SHtxGyQn">Stalin</a>'s Russia, it only takes a tip from an unfriendly neighbor.  The SPA is that neighbor today. A disgruntled employee or jilted lover will be that neighbor tomorrow</p>— <a href="/facts/John_C._Dvorak/GuPAzQqj">John C.
