    you have a business and no lawyer?
    Hire a lawyer. don't screw yourself further.
    If you are confident that you have all invoices and reciepts for the BSA member software you are using, Get a lawyer who can verify that you have the proper licensing and can draft a response. If you can't afford this, you are out of business.
    If you don't respond, they may get a court order and seize your stuff to investigate, then you are out of business anyway.
    Even If you close up shop they will still come after you. this will probably cost you more money than a lawyer.

  7. Because it's a weather balloon on The Moon Is Shrinking Like a Wrinkled Apple · · Score: 2, Funny

    It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans.

    Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors .. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.

    Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!

    Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.

    We were budding practical engineers in school i guess. Steel slides only affected the stupid.
    we learned early that if you scooped a bunch of sand on the slide and rub the whole thing with a shirt or jacket, effectively scouring the slide with sand that it would cool it down enought to where we could slide without burning.

    but these days there is no sand on the playgrounds. so i guess the kids can stay functionally retarded.

    time to update your copypasta

    " That's why all the legitimate on-line outlets come with nasty, annoying DRM or require custom software or otherwise are deliberately made inconvenient for the consumer to use. That's why any outlet that's at all convenient to use, whether it's legit or not, is hounded until they either go out of business or adopt the same consumer-unfriendly wrappers the label's own outlets use. "

    Since originally created this tirade Amazon has started offering DRM free downloads and iTunes is supposed to start.
