I was listening to some podcast (I have since forgotten exactly which one, but it was about the celebration of sci-fi culture) where they talked about "the world's most pirated books." At first one of the hosts went into a little tirade that *book *piracy was the purest form of evil-- worse than any other, I guess because the book publishers weren't as evil or something. The list did include a recent book about Photoshop, which is unfortunate. But the list also included *The Kama Sutra*, and a few other really old classics. Eventually it dawned on me, if not entirely to both hosts as well, that they were conflating "piracy" with "downloading by bit torrent." < s i g h >. -- Greg M. Johnson http://pterandon.blogspot.com
