   I gave him some of the stuff!! some of it had to be destroyed so a copy   
   could be made and I said that was OK because everyone would be able to get a   
   copy, now no one can get a copy and the stuff is destroyed. Nobody gives a   
   stuff about the copy write of 30 year old software.   
      
   He's only pissed off because some prat sold some DVDs of the software on   
   eBay, so by cutting off all supply the stupid fuck has increased the value   
   of the pirate shit on sale on eBay, perhaps he's selling it and wanted to   
   make it more exclusive.   
    But I would not piss on him if he was on fire   
      
   IRA IS ONE OF THE INTERNET'S TRUE WANKERS
