Incidentally... am I the only person in the world who ever did the math
on that "copyright infringement" they keep yammering about?

2.5 billion dollars <divided by> 1 billion Chinese =

(drum roll)

$2.50 per person!!!


Hell, one American could pirate more stuff than 10,000 Chinese people
according to that math!  (I tell you this with a certain degree of
confidence ;)


P.S.  Cool it, there's a lot worse out there than jokes...

Like censors who want to destroy Internet, for example.
