    With "pirateness" you mean "commons sense"? Do you really believe, that
    nobody pays kernel developers?

It is quite useful that people are paid to develop Linux, to develop
GCC, and some other free programs.  I am all for it.

I am also in favor of paying artists whose work people appreciate --
but not through the oppressive means of the War on Sharing.
