[ale] [Fwd: Pirate Banned from Using Linux]

[Watson, Keith R.]

Let's see if I understand this correctly.

1. A man breaks the law and violates the public trust.

2. The man will suffer penalties for breaking the law.

3. Since his law breaking involved computers he should not be trusted
with them at all as he's already proven himself untrustworthy.

4. Society exercises mercy so rather than cut him off completely from
computers they let him use one but only under certain conditions.

5. Granted it seems ironic that society then requires use of a product
they have labeled as monopolistic but hey, society is made up of those
notoriously illogical beings called people.

6. My recommendation is don't break the law in the first place or Bad
Stuff (TM) will happen to you.
