My apologies. Mhh. I most agree. Another thing that shits me is when companies try to extradite people from other countries because of laws that they have broken, which only apply in the US. Strange... Ugh I just noticed the amount of spelling mistakes I left behind. My apologies.

It's designed to keep the richest 10% of the people in this country at the top of the social/money ladder. While the rest of us have to pay them for their "services". It's bullshit. I'm pissed off. They sue the little guys so the big rich guys can get even richer. Steal from the poor and give to the rich. Yup, this country is in trouble. Pascal, you’re right on the money there.

The companies up there are making millions while half of Africa is starving, and the rest of use aren't permitted to share files. Once I purchase a music CD it should be mine. So long as I do not copy it and re-sell it, I think I should be permitted to do whatever the heck I please, including sharing it on the internet. I am disgusteded. Sorry for the thousands that can't use it anymore now. And the other thing I noticed - the latest Star Wars that was available for download -> it actually leaked out by one of the Hollywood workers... hehe. My 5 cents.
