Sorry for the way you feel about piracy, Fred.  Not everone is as open
minded as I am.  I'll concede that you are right.  You never explicitly
said I should be jailed for my post.  For that, I apologize.  I think you
took my reply too seriously, however.  It was meant in a kind spirit, not
pedantically.  Sorry to irk you - "To each -- his own."

I really do think there are two sides to the piracy issue.  First side:
people who believe the copyright laws should remain intact.  Second side:
those who feel that the laws are unfair and should be changed.  'Nuff said.

"There are always two sides to every issue" - Anon.

Rock On,

Dave
