Quote Of The Week
"I know no one likes to see themselves as the bad guy, and likes to talk about how the "MPAA and RIAA are parasites" but -- SO ARE YOU. You're getting revenge on contracts between the MPAA and OTHER PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW YOU AND WOULDN'T LIKE YOU IF THEY DID? Thank you, Internet Zorro! -- Abhay Khosla
