Asymptomatic

Ahem. Is this thing on? Yes. Okay.

I'm not a pirate. I have overstayed my welcome with WinRAR before...darned evaluation versions, but by and large I'm a good boy. I think people get what's coming to them, but I also think that parents shouldn't be so irresponsible as to let their kids online unguarded, that's about the only good thing about AOL, it has it's parental controls, but it is overpriced, even with the exclusive content, which is mediocre at best. I have to admit that I've not bought any music over the internet, I would rather buy a CD (and let's face it they're note expensive with CDwow and Amazon on the scene), and it all boils down to copy protection. Restrict the masses to stop the few.

Phill - it's an FFAF bank-holiday bonanza at blackheart.

I've been a pirate since before the days of "Don't Copyy That Floppy."  I knew it was illegal even then.  As for it actually being wrong, I don't see it that way.  I'm fighting the evil corporations!  (But maybe that's just sophistry.)

Yes, I may talk the talk (see title), but sadly I’ve hung up my pirate hat and sold Polly. I haven’t gone a-pirating since the Grand Ol’ Days of Napster and KaZaA. No, kids, not the weak subscription-based rent-to-sorta-not-own “music service” that Napster has become; I’m talking about the original Napster, chock-full o’ music, full-version software, and pr0n - all free! - at the height of its glory. After it went down KaZaA was a fairly decent substitute, but it just wasn’t the same as the file-sharing network that I’d grown to love. Then, along came the mob RIAA, threatening to break my legs if I continued my evil file-sharing ways without giving them their protection money, and that was when  the Pearl went up for auction on eBay; after all, I didn’t want to end up with two peg legs…

*sends up the Jolly Roger*put on an eyepatch*

I'll admit to it.  I am no innocent to computer piracy.  No angel am I.  A devil?  Perhaps not quite.  Maybe just a mere imp.  (;
