Just an FYI, in Canada, DirecTV "pirating" still isn't illegal. Even though DirecTV has brought people and companies to court, the Canadian Courts have deemed the "pirating" of DirecTV not illegal, though to sell or use the Cards in the US, is illegal. Go figure eh?
The same thing happened 3 years ago with "Hank the angry drunken Dwarf" poll which saw him win people magazine's third Annual Most Beautiful People Poll on its website

I'm sure if slashdot had known about this poll and microsofts winning efforts, it would have been countered and the polls would have been balanced.
Let's see....give the people something they really DON'T want..throw in some annoying advertising....place it in a forum that invades a persons privacy.....hey...
SPAMERS must make money right? Why can't we use the same business model? We can! And as long as we say the artists get paid, and we can enlarge their penises, we're in the clear!!!
