   Hello Björn!   
      
   04 Jul 12 08:26, you wrote to me:   
      
    RC>> and the thing you need to understand is that some people have   
    RC>> ethics and would not do what suggested to Scott.   
      
    BF>    Blindly following your political leaders is ethical only in   
    BF> totalitarian states -- in free countries it's every citizen's   
    BF> obligation to act against crazy laws.   
      
    BF>    Gandhi broke the law when he made salt out of seawater. Was he   
    BF> unethical? Raul Wallenberg broke the law when he saved thousands of   
    BF> Jews. Was he unethical?   
      
   Maybe people who write software prefer to use environments that they obtained   
   legally, so what is wrong with that?   
      
   Am I in violation of Feltens law because the copies of Windows I have, all are   
   with valid license?   
      
   Did I violate Feltens law because I paid iTunes 2.58USD for 2 songs performed   
   by the late Bob Welch?   
      
   Why are you making such a vigorous case for people to do like you do?
