Oh, I did not mix it up. I just wish that pirates respects the wishes of
creators and do not share their art, if they do not wish it to be shared.

I think, the majority of the pirates here really wants it the hard way...
Why do you put so much effort in getting free copies of Britney Spears and
such? There is so much more art out that, that is FREE. Support it and the
world will change faster as if you try to modify the current laws.

I have no leading position. I am just one of two press officers of the
hessian pirates. But in the last days I found out, that I am not the only
one thinking the way I do. There are more pirates that prefere to use free
content to change the world. :)
