  1. It really ISN'T FUNNY by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You are really impressing me. More amazing me, really. Listen, because Sharman networks did not like to distribute KaZaA because of legality issues, you should not be poking fun at the Australian Parliament. Your post is just a teeinecy bit off topic, and WAYYY revolting.
     
    What I'm saying is that you really shouldn't be accusing Sharman networks of being self-serving because that is probably the only place to find good music and porn nowadays. Much safer than Torrents and much faster and less spy-ware laden. If you had ANY idea what you were talking about, you would take back that statement before someone hacks into your little Windows XP computer from a Linux Box located in San Diego on 5th Ave. and runs you out of the Internet. Capeiche?
