The kid I'd bought the disk drive from was getting all these games copied for him and the letters were from the guy sending him the copies. His phone number was there so I gave him a call. I'd never met him but he agreed to let me send him loads of blank discs every few months and he'd copy them full of all the Latest games and cracks and would pay the postage to send them back to me.

When he stopped doing it, he put me in contact with some other guy he knew from the hacking scene and this new guy did exactly the same.

That's why I've always had that free party mentality. It's exactly the same sort of thing.
