I'll send a check to cover the cost. As soon as I open up my downloaded version of Quick Books and check my balance.

Hmm..... I only owed/ owned about $6000, but then I read that I was supposed to include my porn.
I may need to recalculate.

I assume they're also counting material older than 17 years that would be in the public domain by now if the RIAA et al hadn't subverted U.S. copyright laws in order to reap a perpetual windfall from same?

He left off questions like:

1) Are you presently using a legal copy of Windows?

2) What about Office?

3) How many keygens are you currently in possession of?

What copyright laws apply really depend on when it was originally written/produced/etc. There is stuff still out there under the pre-1976 changes that is still protected. Thanks to Sonny Bono and Mickey Mouse, copyrights seem to go on and on and on and on.

yeah. Stealing content from other people who have already stolen it and allowing them to take something you don't own either is totally not pirating.
