Lord Northcliffe, is that you?

"They want to have their cake and eat it too"
Stupid indeed, but isn't that exactly what you wanted also?
You had the option to import a CD, or to not have it at all. To you, the only legal option was to import the CD, which you didn't want to do.
The option was there but you chose to pirate instead. Yes the record company could offer other means, but they don't- that still doesn't justify piracy.

I believe that's fake, or at least drawn out since the dawn of time. http://www.snopes.com/military/lighthouse.asp Still amusing I guess.

Yoda? Is that you?
