I've never previously attempted to use Multi Library, despite downloading it 
some months ago. I tried to do so this time only as an experiment for this 
thread. I can certainly do without it. That's not the point.

And would have been within the law. Perhaps, though, Erland likes the thrill of 
putting himself outside it and then getting his mates to shout "sue him"; or is 
happy in the the knowledge that he is behaving in a way that the legislative 
bodies of the EU and its constituent states - representative of how many 
million people? - have agreed is so shabby and dishonest that it should not be 
allowed.

Well, a couple of days ago, I might well have paid for future updates for this 
- despite not using it - and maybe for those of a couple more of his plug ins 
that I've got on the system but never or very rarely used. I'd have been happy 
to do so for future updates, too, if I used them and had been given a choice.  
But I'm certainly not paying for them now.

Too many developers can't even spell it (let alone "psychology").
