(I had to "improvise" a CD key)Everyone of us has been taken advantage of in this world.  Do I pity those that lose out, yes, but it is the nature of the world and asking anyone to play nice harkens back to the playground days long since past.  Nothing any of us say or do will change any of this.  Get over it.  The piracy/theft/sharing thing will continue.  This is the way of the new world order, and has been since the first homo sapiens hit his brother and took his club for his own.Whatever you choose to do, if you can sleep at night, neither I nor the government is whom you need to worry about.Night night, I am going to go to sleep.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
