i wondered if someone would bring that up - 

there is a huge difference with this (and i have already made this
clear, BTW) - the default state for copyright is not "innocent" - the
default state is "no permission granted" - according to this analogy,
software is guilty until proven innocent under the existing copyright
laws - that is not something we can decide to re-interpret
