That's what demo software is for. Fully working demo software is available

Except that the demos I've tried are often either crippled or buggy. Often
it's like taking a test drive in the same model car, but from a previous
year.
Anyway, my point was just that you were using the term "injustice"
incorrectly. I don't really care about your opinion on actual P2P - unless
you have some new arguments pro or con, which I doubt, because I think
they've all been hashed out to death.

in·jus·tice n.
Violation of another's rights or of what is right; lack of justice.
A specific unjust act; a wrong.
Last I checked, stealing is wrong and stealing a pirated work is a violation
of another's rights.
