Funny. Convicted without due process, now?
That's "BlueSkyMarxist", by the way. Get it right.
I invite you to install a packet sniffer on my router and see how many file-sharing applications I'm running. You'll be sorely disappointed. Hell, I don't even use torrents for downloading Linux distributions anymore.

Ah, but you do! Are those not links in your .sig to art that you yourself are selling? One might even contend that the Harpo image IS the face of nostatic on Pelican Parts. It has become your "trademark", so to speak.
Honestly I don't care what you do. But the whole black and white argument is getting tiresome, so I elect to play (1) Devil's Advocate and (2) advocate for less legislation and special interest protection. Plus I like tweaking Jeff's nose; he seems pretty wound up about it.
