e-Denounce
Knacklappen writes: "A British organization named Federation Against Software Theft (FAST) will according to this article on Monday launch a plug-in for Internet Explorer that will put an 'F' button on a user's browser. Pressing the button, one can easily tipoff FAST about pirated software. The plug-in captures a live example of the site for evidence as well as other basic information about the site. Great idea, but why not mark the button with 'D' for 'denounce'?"
Download their button and click F on every website you go to. Maybe someone could write a program that automatically does this everytime you go to a site.

Exactly. And if a user is looking for legitimate software and comes across something that isn't legal, are they going to know it? Probably not. A lot of people come across stuff and don't know it's commercial.
'Sides, who looks for warez on the web? Ten minutes on IRC or a P2P net and you'll find 10x the warez you'll find in an hour on the web.
You can't legislate goodness. Let each to his own destiny, by will of his freely made choices.
Agreed. We don't have the right to pirate software. Its illegal. Its been illegal for a very long time. I don't understand why that's not clear to people
The company doing this is stupid simply because it won't work. But crapflooding them and childish whining is just going to make us all look like software pirates.
The Anti-Blog
I have seen no empirical evidence whatsoever, published in an accredited, peer-reviewed scientific journal, which supports any detail of the 'creation of the world' as described in the bible. If you have such an article handy, it'd be nice if you posted the particulars so I could look it up in the scientific journal in question.
