Oh dear. These people are remarkably stupid, or at least, remarkably compulsive in threatening legal action. Observe this CNET article. Can you say “auto-mailer”? Or perhaps “spam bot” would be more fitting.

By the way, just for the record, I’m a dangerous copyright lawbreaker. I promise to post more on this, soon… there’ll be a webpage stuck up about it in the near future, possibly with a list of things I have sitting illegally on my computer, such that I may attract messages of anger from the RIAA. I’ll stop now, lest the fun be revealed too soon.

Even ye land-lubbers are runnin’ away from Aye Eii in droves! In the last three days, over one milllion scury dogs turned to the fiery ways of Firefox, the pirates browser of choice 1! If ye haven’t done so, ye best be headin’ off to grab it smartly like!

1. Excellent tool though I’m sure Firefox is for various piratical activities, neither meself nor the Mozilla team would be seen to encourage the bilge rats of the internet in their befouling ways!

Yarrrrrrrr!
