[Coco] Copyrighted ROM's

[rietveld rietveld]

As an Englsh major in University I must point out that by definition a euphenism is a word that is used in place of one that is harsh or offensive.
Substituting  "actually" for "technically" does not seem to meet that definition as neither of these words would be considered offensive in any manner of context.

Your suggestion that the word "actually" is better placed in this question is highly debatable as "technically" defines the exact rules and facts.  It is definatley factual that copyright ownership as a whole is a definable fact.

I think 'technically' is one of the funniest euphemisms I've seen in a
long time. It must have been a typo. The word you meant to type in
'actually'.

Call your congress-person and tell them copyright last too long on
software. Life+70 is a joke that isn't funny. I'd shoot for 5 years
tops.

Disclaimers:
1. I do write software professionally.
2. I do have other people's copyrighted ROMs on my website.
