Sorry for this rant, but....I've largely been deleting a thread unread 
based on the subject line alone.


   I really wish the phrase Scott used of "Pirating is Illegal!" was 
removed from subject lines given I don't think anyone was talking about 
anything involving ships in the high seas, nor were they talking about 
commercial for-profit copyright infringement.

   I know there are some extreme special interests who want people to 
confuse any type of copyright infringement with "Piracy" and/or 
"counterfeiting".  These folks have demonstrated they have absolutely no 
respect for tangible property, privacy, or even copyright related rights 
and thus we should entirely reject their warped view of the world.
