I dont blame you one bit and frankly applaud the step in the right
direction since the amoral thieves are just that, thieves. Its funny
in a sense in that the web is turning out to be a growing judgement
against those ignorant or indifferent to the rights of others. The
shame is everything they do will catch up with them sooner or later
and will be hung around their necks when they need it least. -
EVERYTHING- you do on the web is recorded. If you are a thief or
morally void you are in a speeding car with no steering and -will-
crash and burn.
A famous man wrote "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than
sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." That man was talking
about bigotry but it applies here too. Adolf Hitler and Al Queida are
two of the more well known forms of this and the thieves are a
growing subset of the amoral. If you or someone you know has no
consideration for others property, just try to think of how it would
be if while you were sleeping someone came in and took your computer
away and left nothing behind. Its that simple. Keep doing what you
are doing JMH. You have my backing.
