Well, you are free to believe whatever you want. I personally do not feel that the view about the term "piracy" is FUD. Because I don't think it creates any fear or uncertainty. I think the language we use is very important if we want to convey the right meaning. Else, it could lead to miscommunication, if not misunderstanding. > About "sharing" ... don't even get me started on that :) Of course, everyone is free to have her/his own opinion. But I don't understand how one can be a supporter of Free Software and yet don't believe in sharing. Of course, that is my problem. Best -- V.
