OH, NO! I'M A CRIMINAL! OH, THE SHAME!

Wise up, moron. So what if it's a crime? Who the hell cares? First of
all, are all crimes wrong, Mr. Law and Order? It was illegal to throw
blood on the steps of the Pentagon during the Vietnam War protests.
Was it wrong? It would have been illegal to shoot Hitler in 1940.
Wrong? 

Secondly, software theft -- and it is theft -- is easy and there is no
risk. So it's going to happen. Why do you get so bent out of shape?
There's absolutely nothing you or anyone can do about it. Sure, big
companies or government agencies somtimes get caught making
unauthorized copies. But no one can stop individual users from
distributing copies, no matter what the law says. Make software that
can't be copied and that will take of the problem. Until then, all
your self-righteous bitching and moaning is just a waste of bandwidth.
