It reminds me of how infuriated I was eight years about when the magainze 
_2600_ was found liable for *linking* to the DVD decoding software package 
called DeCSS.  From what I recall, Salon linked to it and wasn't sued.

It would be an interesting world if the laws on the books were enforced 
fairly and equally, no matter the background-color your website uses. 
Until then, I guess, I'll be infuriated.
