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.
