OMG, what a stupid inane comparison!

I mean, the guy is dead! We should lay off him, no pun intended; he did far more good for everybody than that shtoopid hacker pirate sleaze.

Don't worry, my first paragraph was a red herring. Lay was pretty vile and hardly Christian in his actions. (Maybe his wife will return the loads of money he stole... then again, why should she pay for "dead" hubby's sins?)

And the worst part is, that subject line was just a sleazy and inane attempt to get people to click on it because I genuinely am in utter agreeance with you. 100%. (though I doubt it was a 24 year old game whose copyright exists as some petty hand-me-down trademark he was offering for free downloads... (e.g. 'Atari' as we fondly remember it is owned by Hasbro these days)

It would indeed be fun to know the details and the guy's getting just due, but one way or another, Lay's crime was infinitely worse. Where's No_Axe and the rest of his gaggle to chime up on that issue? But now we're in the venue of beating dead horses with a stick. And at least worms have an appetite for embalming fluid too.
