   There is no trust of the blatant thieves and pirates, who lie
continually and egregiously about the illegality of what they do, who
lie about what they've done ("4D" sound should tell you that certain
people are clinincally insane and should never be trusted again-- but
P.T. Barnum was right), there is no trust of pirate sites that place
copyrighted comemrcial software up *BEFORE* asking the author for
permission. 

   The blame lies strictly on the pirates that people are going to
have to make explicitly clear are NOT welcome. You do not make peace
with thieves looking to backstab you later-- any more than you make
friends with a cancer or a disease looking to eat you alive.
