How truly stupid is this? Open Source = Piracy?

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

one of the stupidest things i have ever heard. a far, very far stretch to claim piracy on that. if i were a lawyer i aint gonna work for them! immediately drops my opinion of this alliance to rock bottom.

awesome! I want a pirate ship so we can go sailing and hoist up a pirate flag. We can design the new improved Jolly Roger flag on Gimp, Inkscape, Blender and what ever else is open source
WE are FREE pirates roaming the seven seas ... of the internet 

ARRR, why is all the rum gone???

btw I do say this with tongue planted firmly in cheek
Freeware to Piracy is like .... cheese to guacamole dip [ie. they're not the same thing you moronic knobs] I did get a laugh out of the article anyways with how stupid they come off

It's almost like they are telling us that rather than being legit with our choice to use OpenSource that wer are SUPPOSED TO steal.

Anyone got a copy of Photoshop handy?

Why yes I do *she says cheekily* I'm using it as a coaster for my beverage. Do Cd's still work after being crusted over with various coffee and soda stain rings?  ;) j/k
I've never used Photoshop. I used a Promotional program called PhotoImpression 4 from ArcSoft[??] before I discovered Gimp. Got that program free when I purchased a super craptacular Digital camera.  Chucked the camera but kept the program for fun. I only use the PI4 for doing screen shots now. And I've managed to convert all the patterns out of the PI4 to use in my Gimp now. I don't think I'd take a copy of Photoshop, now that I got my Gimp. I can't abandon Wilbur  *hugs Wilbur*

wha? ** noo get out You really can do screen shots with Gimp? I'm looking in the wrong spots for it then cause I've tried to find out if Gimp did them. Where is it hidden? Do you have the secret knock or password for it?
