- Don't be such an ignorant ass. There is nothing you or any of the other
- children can say which justifies piracy. Your sort is not needed and is
- certainly not wanted around here, so go the hell away. The logic being used
- by you and your ignorant buddies is so ridiculous that one can only conclude
- that none of you are more than 15 years of age. Go away and live your life
- of crime, but don't try to justify it to the rest of us.

- But it is affecting the shopowners and therefore it is wrong. You bozos can't
- seem to grasp the fact that the impact of piracy goes further than the author,
- publisher, distributor, and shopowner. And it is assholes such as yourself
- who are complaining the loudest that there is no software available. Duh, get
- a clue! Why in the world would anyone want to write software if the sales are
- low due to piracy?

- Your .sig is as stupid as the other pirates who post your ridiculous defense
- of piracy. Why don't you all just go away and have your little pirate parties
- where you can all whack off while cracking the latest games? And if you did
- not hack into someone else's account and really are in CS, you should switch
- majors now because your kind is not welcome.
