I used the term "pirates" in the context of peoples
perceptions...however jumping through hoops to circumvent the actions
of the sites owners in order to violate the sites terms of use of
certainly isn't a whole lot better.  If you have an issue with the
terms of use of a site, you're other option is to not use it.  This
isn't a DVD you bought for which some sort of fair use applies...it's
a free website owned and operated by someone else.

I really don't want to drag any of this out, as the list really isn't
the place for it.  I just have to say that Mike is 100% correct on
this one.  I see from your other posts that you feel your opinion of
their terms gives you the right to violate them.  It just doesn't work
that way.

Tom
