- Like I said, which you conviently edited out, companies are not exporting
- their products to countries that don't recognize Copyright Law, so it's not
- pertinent.

- You're such a twit. Copyright Law is not a strictly American phenomena,
- it's practically globally accepted these days, ever hear of the Bourn
- Convention?
-
- And, yes, I'm fully aware of the fact that people break laws. Ironically,
- those that break "traditional" laws, like stealing a car, actually take on
- some measure of risk in the process and never whine rationalizations if they're
- caught.
-
- Pissant pirate-twerps probably don't have the balls to actually steal a car
- though, eh?
