If I had asked specifically where I could rip off copyrighted software I would expect to be told by the list owner's that that sort of request was inappropriate to the list. Kazaa had a clearly defined Free download button just like Real Player and a bunch of other web application "retailers". I asked the broader question - if not specified for MAC users, on Kazaa, Real Player whatever - it wont work. I didn't buy a MAC to get sermon's and be accused of being some sort of criminal just short of a FBI wanted serial killer. If I just want the cheap free version that's my perogative. I didn't join MAC to be part of a cult either. That only so and so's allowed and you'll ruin the neighborhood and everybody's viewpoint of MAC users attitude doesn't sit well with me.
