Don't you just love it how the trolls always label people who disagree with
them as liars, thieves, perverts or whatever else the subject is on at the

Real credibility building stuff, that...

Bullshit.
So, 70 years after death is "legally correct" whilst "20 years" wasn't?
The government keep extending copyright wayyyyy beyond it's original
purpose.

So, the legal purpose of copyright is what now? Certainly not "to encourage
creativity and scientific endeavour". Throttle it, maybe.

And labelling everyone who disagrees with you (or vice versa) a thief,
pirate, immoral liar, etc etc etc...

Sorry,but your opinion is worthless.
Perhaps if you debated with a microgram of sense...
