For once, I am deadly serious with you. Why would you do that, unless all you were doing was legal blackmail with absolutely no intention whatsoever of ever litigating, of course.

It's not about me claiming I could run their business better, I wouldn't ever work in the ambulance chasing legal blackmail market as I think it is unethical. What I am asking, is, if this is really about stopping piracy, why don't these groups actually try and stop piracy, rather than just legal blackmail?

(Clue - they don't care about piracy, they care about making bank, but you and I both know that. I would love you to try and think of an excuse for them though).

See if you can answer that without name calling or trying to insult me. I dare you!

PS We both know that Paris thing is also just about money, not piracy. I know you're not that stupid.
