This one is for those of you who will respond at every opportunity
about how spammers will just move off-shore as disproof of any hope
for a legal approach to the problem, over and over and over and over,
demanding the criticism be responded to, over and over and over and
over and over, as if it were a coup de grace:

Raids Shutter Online Piracy Sites
U.S. and international law enforcement authorities on Wednesday
conducted a series of raids against Web site operators suspected
of distributing more than $50 million worth of pirated music,
movies and software, a move the U.S. Justice Department described
as the largest-ever crackdown on online piracy.
The Justice Department coordinated more than 120 searches in 10
countries and 27 U.S. states...
I know, you *like* piracy or don't like the RIAA so this isn't to your
liking so um, er, so, uh, doh, or maybe 10 countries isn't enough to
convince you, you're going to hold out for a single raid in 180
countries simultaneously before you'll yield the point because, well,
yielding a point is embarrassing...
But before you come back with that sort of thing please take a deep
breath and consider even for just one second that maybe you're a
naive, confused and ignorant individual who shouldn't be cluttering up
lists like this with your own personal limitations and wasting the
time of others.
