What a refreshing story. Just when I'm ready

to give up hope, there's always something,

however small, that helps restore my faith

in humanity.

I remember a few years ago there was a sting

operation that nabbed a bunch of fugitives

by running a bogus sweepstakes. The

criminals were lead to believe they'd won

superbowl tickets and when they showed up to

claim their prize, they were arrested. Some

of these idiots were so dumb and brazen that

they were still asking for their tickets as

they were being carted away.

That's how I think of the criminals who are

complaining about this prank -- only they're

not being carted off to jail, where they

belong, but just being gently reminded that

there's a difference between right and wrong.

I wonder. Who out there would be nasty

enough to give the P2P criminals what they

really deserve? Hey, having your hard drive

wiped is better than doing time.
