Just when I think I've seen you at your worst you sink to a new low. Your
latest lame attempt to circumvent the copyright laws is to claim that stealing
is justified because yo had to _WAIT_ for something? You are really amazing.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone whose aguments are filled with such
self-centered, selfish bullshit in my life. Get a clue, AJ. If you don't
want to wait betweenpaying for something and getting it, buy it from a stor
with cash in-hand (and _only_ if they've got a copy on the shelf). People
have to wait for stuff all the damned time. It is a fact of life. Are _you_
so special that you shouldn't have to wait for anything? If so, what makes
you so special? asswipe.
By the way, it is _not_ illegal to tape your favorite TV show off of TV. It
is illegal to sell copies of it or to charge other people to see it.
