    Oh NO!

    It's aXXo not aXXO... I'm only pointing that out because they (aXXo) are very peculiar on the spelling. And I'm a grammar nazi.

    [sarcasm] And oh no, please, don't shut down Mininova! There won't be anywhere else to search for torrents! [/sarcasm]

    Flawless logic

    By that logic, the movie studios should sue themselves for letting 'pirates' copy their DVDs. By not preventing pirates from uploading their movies online, they are breaching copyright. They should install DRM systems that would prevent the friends or family of the movie purchaser to watch the movie more than once.

    Moreover, the radio stations should also sue speaker manufacturers because they let people hear the music (performance rights!)

    Banks should sue the government for not stopping criminals on their way to a bank robbery (through public roads!)

    Some guy threw a frozen treat at me the other day; I should sue the company who made the frozen treat, since it failed to prevent the treat from being thrown at me.

    And don't get me started about suing the wind.

    Ahhhh, religion. Always there for a good laugh.

    I suppose I better check with my government to make sure I can still work this Sunday.

    And yeah, good luck indeed.
