If they put up any resistance at all, it does become piracy, but mace the fuckers one way or another.

It's a damn shame that people bastardise the best of causes. Charity for the rich, cap and trade for the environmentalists, shall I go on ?

Nothing is going to get straightened out until we get rid of a hell of alot of people. My Father said that the human race is a disease on this planet, and that the Earth is going to cure it eventually. Despite being dead, he gats smarter all the time.

It would be a ripoff.
