You don't even know what you're talking about. You really should think twice before accusing someone of a crime. Crisjon, I'm not accusing you or anyone else here of any crimes, so please don't put words in my mouth. I was expressing concern over your remarks, because your comment "Merchants or artists can not tell us to give them credit. They can't forbid us from giving the product as a gift, etc. They don't have the right to poke into our computers or our personal business" sounded very reactionary and anti-merchant to me. In subsequent posts, I clarified that I was only interested in making sure people don't take your comment the wrong way. Certainly there is nothing wrong with using your wife's credit card to buy things... but that's entirely different from implying that you now own that stuff and are free to use it and then give it to whomever you please, merchants be damned. (which is how the tone of your original comment reads to me). -Adam
