Sort of a variant of making your HQ in the Caymans if you are multinational. Except the latter is legal.
I can see how the root post would call anti-Linux and anti-BSD freaks "bigots," but the debate is still fundamentally about choice.

Thsi has nothing to do with open versus closed. The same holds true for any technical architecture investment. Once you've made the investment in time and money, it's vcery expensive to switch, whether it's from closed to open or vice versa.

Google will have to wait their turn.
Your argument would also apply to people under 18, all of whom seem to pay sales tax.
Believe it or not, there's software specifically for that purpose.

I'm thinking that inside the goatse guy would probably be too wacky.

I think it's a pretty safe bet to assume that the quality of ripping sw and songs has improved since 1999. For the most part.
