Software Developer Beats Pirate in Boxing Ring

At last, a practical and entertaining model for dealing with software piracy (MPAA and RIAA take note), and perhaps a useful way to channel Steve Ballmer's aggression too."

    Seriously, the obsession over the term "piracy" is almost as annoying and tired as the obsession over the term "gay marriage". Just get over it.
