Well, Saul took issue with someone complaining that the rest of the
world has to suffer when P2P networks get infected by RIAA because the
US won't reign in RIAA's abuse of the legal system. People in the US
keep electing representatives who suckle at the gangrenous teet that
RIAA holds out for them and then they turn around and spout RIAA
propaganda about how file sharing is costing them so much money...when
they know, and we know, and it has been shown repeatedly, that people
who download music also BUY more music than any other group! There are a
few rotten apples in the crowd, but overall the recording industry is
making record sales and record profits. Not to mention the fact that
Saul started trashing other parts of the world in his ignorance about
where WinMX and other P2P programs originated from. Like you, the rest
of us don't care all that much where WinMX was made...until Saul started
bellowing that only Americans should be using it because Americans
created it :-)

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
