I don't wish to defend the devil itself here, but is that really untrue?
Do we have any reason to think it is untrue?  You may argue that it has not
been proven true, but that doesn't mean it is false -- you're escaping on a
technicality.  I'd be pretty surprised to find that free software and other
freely distributable materials outweighed all the copyrighted movies and
music being passed around by P2P (a vague term).  Perhaps I'm wrong?

Does this house deny the right of people to defend their copyright against
illegal infringement?

Gavin
