Hi:  We are supposed to be living in a civilized society, according to Max 
baby.  Regardless of how he states the "facts", he conveniently leaves out 
the fundamental premise.  A program written where it is legal, and sold where 
it is illegal, is a matter to take up with those those responsible for 
engaging in such activities.  How many employees can dictate conditions to 
their boss?  A programmer is arrested, indicted, and headed for 25 years, not 
5, in jail.  Max is not only engaging in uncivilized conduct, behavior, and 
accepted norms, the jerk is not taking responsibility for his actions.  When 
someone does not respond to the premise put forth, that someone needs a big 
2X4 across the shoulders to get his/her attention.

We need yet another "HALL OF SHAME" for each and every one of these idiots.

Well, thanks for sharing the information, Mickey.    Tom
