It is a constant source of irritation to me that there are a good number of people in this world that refuse to accept the legality of intellectual property. Even more irritating is the fact that, though it is already law, and not open to interperetation, some people see fit to attempt to justify it. My take : There IS NO justification for it. Never has been , and never will be. Theft is theft, and no amount of rationalizing will justify it. I did not make the law, but I do support it. DEAL WITH IT..........
