Being a creator does not entitle one to abuse other people at will.

I agree with MOST of what he said about piracy, but the MOMENT
he stepped across the line and started abusing everyone for
the sins of others, he lost my respect.

I can care less about Asimov and its (useless to me) warez, but
I did get pretty worked up when Proterm and AppleWorks 5 were
found on it.  But even someone against such piracy like myself
got flamed by him.  Does this tell you something?
