Yes, you must be one of those scumbags that pilfers the property or intellectual rights of others sans payment or having acquired the legal rights to the property and then tries to hide behind some pseudo Divine-Right bullshit. You can fool yourself into believing that running someone over with a car and killing them is Vehicular manslaughter and not 1st degree murder; however, that does not change one iota the simple fact that the victim is dead. You can try an justify your illegal actions all you want; criminal attorneys make a living out of doing it in court everyday of the week. It amazes me how scumbags constantly attempt to justify their illegal actions. The simple fact is that a thief is a thief no matter how you try and sugar coat it. Now go back and play your pirated music, etcetera. I am sure you have all ready justified that practice to yourself. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
