I'm laughing. Who cares if it's a crime? Id hasn't lost any money yet,
when they release it, and some of these "pirates" havn't paid for their
copy, then Id loses money. If you can honestly tell me you've never
driven too fast, or crossed the street at the wrong place, or dropped a
candy wrapper, or anything else, then I'll listen to your little
accusations. But as it is, I may have broken the _LAW_, but no ones been
hurt yet, so please pipe down, and go away.

Computers are alot different. For one, I have no intention of sending
Doom2 back to Id (they've already got it), I didn't borrow Doom2, I found
it, and I intend to look at it, until I can pay for it. Thats like
sending a copy of _The_Firm_ back to John Grisham, just because you're
done looking at it. No, no, no. Wake up, moron, do you think that just
because you haven't seen Doom2 yet, Id is saving money? No! Id's
revenues aren't even being affected by Doom2 yet, Id isn't selling it
yet, so stop bitching, and be quiet.
