Well, you're sort of pissing right now. My comments are not a reflection on 
Volkan, but probably on Massmind. Massmind is not in the technology business 
as the casual observer might assume, but in the advertising business. Web 
advertisers need traffic. To get traffic they need content. One of the ways 
they get it is to operate discussion groups like this one. Another way is to 
steal content from people who create actual value, such as Volkan. But 
because advertisers often know nothing about the content they hype, they 
don't know if an article is finished or complete, valuable or hogwash. So 
you end up with crap like we saw at the end of that link. Google makes 
$billions stealing copyrighted text from printed books, but if you copy a 
DVD you risk the FBI or (get this, better yet...) Homeland Security (WTF?!?) 
busting down your door and fining you up to $250K or tossing your keester in 
jail. Read the warnings. But maybe you're right. If only I spent more time 
playing video games, watching cable TV and texting on my phone, then I might 
be truly happy. Yes, everything is just swell. Now where's that KoolAid?
