If your house was broken into, and your TV stolen, and you were walking along
and saw it in your neighbor's living room through the window, would that
give you the right to go in and reclaim it?

Would it exempt you from having to pay for a new door to replace the one
that got broken down?

You might want to ask yourself why the now-standard 17USC512 takedown
letter isn't sufficient.....

I wonder how many 'Hax0rs-R-Us' record labels are about to incorporate.

Bad JuJu.
