I disagree. I think "illegal downloading of music" or "illegally downloading music" would both be better. I might not go so far as to say that "illegally downloading of music" is wrong, it's just awkward. Like "quickly eating of cake". Or "eagerly partaking of pedantry". Works in some contexts, but not this one.
has devastated Should be "have".
"What the intercourse are you talking about" doesn't have the same ring to it. Used in that context, fuck and intercourse don't have the same meaning. Compare "the dog pooped on the grass" to "the dog took a shit on the grass". They mean the same thing, but only shit would be censored.
It's got more to do with superstition than decency. Saying "fuck" is considered much worse than saying "intercourse", even when they're used the same way with the same meaning.

Yeah either that or you need to look up the definition of "innocuous".
But it's still the hand in the rear that pulls the trigger. I believe grenade launcher attachments to M16s have a front handed trigger.

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe HDTV prices will go down too.
