IMHO, each side look mostly at one of the points and stick their respective heads in the sand on the other point.
Ok, shall we start? |
Thank you !!!! totally agree - I just find it funny that people pick and choose through convenience the laws they wish to follow. They scream thief! to file sharers but have no problem illegally performing tunes and/or xeroxing shit (not for fair use). snooooooooooze.......
