Uh, good for you but it's still against the law, and against mp3car policy, and therfore a taboo subject

Out of curiosity, how do you expect to make any money if you can't sell anything you write? Since as a programmer anything you program is intellectual property?

let's talk again when you've worked for a few years and delivered an actual shrink wrapped product...

Well, the reason I said I was a programmer was because I think it lends more legitimacy to my argument, I'm not just someone who wants to "steal" software. Also, if I work for a company, anything I write belongs to them, so I never even get to have intellectual property in the first place. And if you think a programmer could NOT get paid in the absence of the absurd law of "intellectual property" then you lack imagination.
