*shrugs* The source is still out there. If they aren't releasing new
versions others still can. Not everyone is under the jurisdiction of these
shitty laws and some of us just don't give a rats ass what the law
says. If you don't like a law vote against it -- and idiots that help pass
them. If that doesn't help and things get worse than you consider bearable
then simply assume the whole system is broken and disregard all laws it
trys to place over you. That son of DMCA law (SSMCA or some such weird
acronymn) scares the shit out of me. DMCA should be our last straw when it
comes to taking away our rights.. if that new law passes I'm gonna join
some nutty militant group and start blowing up government bigwigs or
something. Either that or eat more cheese and pretend none of this is
happening to me. Denial can be a wonderful thing. :)
