Re: Where is the beef???

Think about what you are asking for Jeff.  It is the same as expecting
someone who has just been mugged to announce that the mugger missed
stealing some of the money.  Honestly!  Joe already asked for it to be
removed, which means he has identifed it to the asimov op.
Which is backwords, he shouldn't have to ask that pirated software be
removed from any site.  It should not have been pirated in the first place.
Sugar coat it all you like, but it is still theft.
 
And by announcing and promoting the download of copyrighted software, you
are an accessory.  Or didn't you know that Appleworks is copyrighted?
