    Don't be a dip shit. You aren't even relating apples and oranges. You're relating apples and fucking trees. Neither have anything to do with one another.

    If I were to copy something from one piece of paper to another that would not be stealing it's called copy right infringement (if the information were copyrighted in the first place wich lots of info that is traded via P2P isn't). I didn't take anything other than information. Same goes for sharing because I never deprive anyone of anything.

    If I cared enough to log in I'd mod you into oblivion. I'm sure other people will anyway.
