I think it is extremely shortsighted of Sun as users of their old equipment 
*might* buy new Sun equipment for their employers.  The SunHelp site 
provides a good source of support for their older equipment and thus keeps 
people using Suns who couldn't otherwise afford to do so.

I think that their marketing department would do well to promote the 
distribution of both info about their hardware and images of their software 
for obsolete machines so as to get their equipment and software used as 
widely as possible at no cost to themselves - free advertising.

In my opinion either that lawyer, or his boss, is a fool and is doing harm 
to the Sun name by this sort of behaviour.
