My so-unofficial-you-can-shove-it-up-per-arse opinion is:

        The most tedious and pointless threads on IDM since I've been on
        are about copyright.  They have little point, they convince no one,
        and they have little relevance to the actual music we discuss here.

Please, stop.  I implore you ...
