If you are the purchaser of this product you will be contacted shortly by both the telephone company and the FBI in regards to copyright violations. The legal owner of the telephone listed above and the purchaser of Prism-Paint (serial # 70) will be held fully responsible for all costs and legal fees in regards to this copyright violation. LEXICOR Software will prosicute any and all violaters of it's copyrights to the fullest extent of the law. It is worth noting, that once notified telecommunications systems, such as telephone companies, on line services, and radio or television networks are required by law to persue and prosecute all cliants using their services in the commition of a crime (i.e. copyright infingment under title 17 ) Further it is worth noting that the telrphone company maintains all telephone number contacts, and that all persons involved with this suspected copyright infirngment, will be traced and included in any copyright prosicution.

Both agencys have begun the investigative process. Lexicor also has the name of the original buyer of the Priate copy and will be prosicuting this person along with the Telephone number owner and those associated with that person to the limits of the law. Just a generl note of interest: the criminal penelities for copyright infringment and the use of the telephone for criminal fraud are a maximum of 15 years in jail and $25,000 in fines for each infringment. in addition any one knowingly downloading a stolen program has the same liability. This means that every person who loged on to this Pirate BBS risks being named in a criminal and civil complaint. The phone company must by law disconnect any telephone used in such manner. This boils down to anyone who's tel number appears on the telephone co's computer records as having logged into this BBS, "WILL BE DISCONNECTED" with our notice and will not be restored untill the proper authorties have completed there investigation. This notice is just to let every one know how serious we are about our software and protecting our authors work.
