Duh, Pule!  You forget the hundreds of megabytes of legitimate software 
available.  Look on ground.  If you can pull your head out long enough.  ;)

Duh, Pule.   You forget the hundreds of megabytes of legitimate software 
available.  Look on ground.   

Or even purchase (sorry to use such language in your presence, Pule) TIAB and get 
two CD's packed with software.  All legal.

And I'll bet you steal your software for them too.  ;)

That's nice.  It's a big change of pace from playing with yourself, I'm sure.  ;)

Darn.  Pule makes a nice point.  Sadly it doesn't address the folks who really 
like something they've downloaded and just keep it.

 *> Particularly games where the books and box have great graphics.

Heh... And they could tell this from their asimov downloads?  ;)

And you're the kind of guy who would try to argue that he's sanitizing your

And you're a guy who kills a software market by piracy, then justifies your acts

You on the contrary, are quite understandable.  You're a cheap, thieving worm.
