This must be either

1)  A joke--in which case it should be posted to net.jokes proper

2)  A flame--it should thus appear in net.flame

Yes Virginia, there are people who CARE about copyrights.  They are the people
who (ho hum here we go again) make a living off the royalties or sales of stuff
which wouldn't sell if freely copied by anyone who chose to.  Sometimes this
sounds pretty mercenary especially in the case of firms that are rich anyhow,
but a lot of that money goes to the people making ordinary salaries working
for those firms.  (And a lot to Uncle Sam too, remember.  Not all of that goes
for missiles, etc.; ask that when you go on Social Insecurity.)  Caveat copier.
