It's a generally derogatory term for pirated software, like scfiguy said. Seems like I first heard it on the net in the early 90's, but it's been around awhile. Heh heh. I'm with you - I'd love a "definitive guide to netspeak", tritorella. It's hard to keep track of it all. ;] Hrmmm... but by the time we wrote one, a lot of it'd be obsolete. ;]

"I am a good person now and it feels... well, pretty much the same as I felt before (except that the headaches have gone away now that I'm not wearing control top pantyhose on my head anymore)"
