Uh-oh... BTW - I read the thread, and ther was no actual warez transaction at all going down, as was intimated (you could've at least deleted the account before making such a statement, eh?) I did notice the guy who started it claiming to have gotten a copy and cracking it, but if it's legal in Sweden (hell if I know), then there would be no basis for prosecution. OTOH, to be honest there is no real ethical justification for "testing" a cracked copy under any circumstance. If there's no legal demo, I just don't buy the thing. All that aside, I still think it's funnier than hell that someone got banned because they were offended at the word "dufflebag" as an insult. I mean, really Jeff: It's like being whacked on the shin by a 4-year-old girl wielding fluffy foam pillow, and remedying the situation by shooting her in the head with a .45 auto. To carry the similie further, perhaps you should've not pulled the trigger, 'cause you likely shot yourself in the foot this go 'round... ( heh - when it comes to similies, damn I'm good :) ) /P
