You know life would be a lot simpler if we could just assassinate all damn foreigners. In fact, let's just kill everybody we don't like or don't agree with.

>"those who partake of unauthorized file sharing are also the best customers of authorized digital music."
But doesn't everybody fileshare? I bet if you did a study on the youth demographic of music customers I bet you'd find that like 99% percent of them were active file sharers.

And if all your customers also fileshare, does that make it right?
