You take too much of what is said, literally. Giving him a reach around
while he's being pumped in the butt by his uro cronies is what I was
talking about.

warez...hmmmm, I don't think I'd classify it as such.

The Felten doesn't have any necessity, he's just overcome with greed.

Exactly. But his standard come-back to that one is that the person doing
the hard work, isn't reaping the benefits, the promoter is. Therefore,
it's free for him the Felten to steal.

According to the Felten, there is no copyright agreements to anything.

 JB> I really don't know how those contract laws applies internationally,
 JB> but again, I'm sure Bill Gates does, and it must be the same as here.

There are treaties between countrys that get into that, but again, the
Felten claims that Sveden doesn't abide by any of them. Thus, he's free to
steal from even Bill Gates and/or MS.
