Right, so you're saying just steal them instead of paying.


I don't use BSB charts, but they are there if anyone wants them. Also, if my
neighbour offers me a copy of some well-known software, and I offer him a
copy of another application in return for his generosity, I don't regard
myself as having "stolen" anything.

Perhaps if you spent some time studying the P&L accounts of the leading
software companies, you would see what I mean.

BTW I don't use E-Mule, but millions do.
