The goverment overhaul idea will become of the strain on the economy and citizen will riot while politicians will dine and defend their comforts the system will then colapse apon its self and the risk will run high of local drug lords, mafia, Klan, and gangs will siezing territory as warlords with an absent system of goverment. So the problem is how to remove a rotten goverment with out total poverty and loss of control any where in the process of doing so which is for us( all of the displease) to unite learn a profitable craft, go to college learn law, economic standards studies, or start a business, funds are essential contribute to the cause and work our way up the middle into the center of gov. and grow and spread like a till there is now room left for old money. But that is hard and honestly not enough people work together any more so lets just say a prayer for Duc Do and his colleges and pray for ourselfs because being in the world we are in today we are in a shit storm that no one may survive.

Just because in the past, helping an escaping slave has a harsh penalty, doesn't mean that one shouldn't do it. You are the one at fault for thinking that you could "own" that piece of software. What makes me more disgusted is how people make these things FOR PROFIT rather than for the interest of the public, and claim that they "own" it. @ Bittrucker

I don't why it would be piracy, since payment is either being made, or the "product"/cyberbits is deleted. Wouldn't piracy occur if a person benefits from the product without making the payment? Further, it would seem that if these were the facts for those defendants then the FBI would waste its time trying to prosecute? #237, Muaitai:
