Learn to live with the realities. Piracy is a reality. Denying it is of no use. AFAIK the constitution of this country allows free speech. A person isn't committing a crime until he / she has actually acquired a pirated copy of whatever he / she is asking for. I am neither supporting piracy nor advocating it. I feel a forum or a mailing list shouldn't suppress any post unless they are derogatory to fellow member(s) or they contain some sort of information which is illegal (for example, links to sites / servers which give access to pirated material). But yes, one could view allowing requests to pirated material as 'facilitating piracy' and hence a crime in itself. Hmph. Ignore me. I am just a figment of your imagination :| -- Dinesh A.
