    So let's see, you're claiming fair use by posting a load of keys for shareware apps?

    Tell ya what, why don't you just go out and run through CompUSA, grabbing stuff off the shelves, and throwing it into the street shouting "It's FREE! It's FREE!"

    YOU do not have the right to do what you are attempting to do. Only the person who owns that software has the right to decide what they're going to charge for it. If you disagree, don't buy it. Don't be a stupid asshole instead.

    Oh, and by the way, I hope you and your family are condemned to work at an IHOP on the 2am shift for the rest of your lives.
