Given that the RIAA has already filed suit against Napster, what do you hope to accomplish in filing a separate suit? Specifically, what would your suit accomplish that the RIAA's would not? IANAL, but wouldn't it be to your advantage to wait until the RIAA's suit is resolved, and then collect on any damages incurred?
It is a living language that... is not afraid to adopt foreign words if it likes them.Indeed. English absorbs foreign words much more readily than just about any other language. As a result, English formally contains over six hundred thousand words (how many do you know?). On the flip-side is French, which goes to incredible lengths to avoid outside influence, particularly by English. Its formal vocabulary is roughly forty to fifty thousand words. And lest you think too poorly of the French (for this, anyway), most European languages sit at under one hundred thousand words each.Lastly, I know English will win, because that's what everybody speaks on Star Trek.;)

Hell, I remember when most of the industry press denied such a thing as a "virus" could exist.
