- Sorry for the way you feel about piracy, Fred. Not everone is as open
- minded as I am. I'll concede that you are right. You never explicitly
- said I should be jailed for my post. For that, I apologize. I think you
- took my reply too seriously, however. It was meant in a kind spirit, not
- pedantically. Sorry to irk you - "To each -- his own."
-
- I really do think there are two sides to the piracy issue. First side:
- people who believe the copyright laws should remain intact. Second side:
- those who feel that the laws are unfair and should be changed. 'Nuff said.
