And your email is prime example why he didn't want to get involved although 
I don't speak for him.

I find a quite a bit of irony in this whole discussion because some (not all 
please) of the very same people that are complaining about their work being 
ripped off in SL are using a jacked copy of PS, cranking away to jacked 
music, while they are downloading jacked movies or dvr their latest show so 
they don't have to watch commercials, zipping up their finished work using a 
non supported software (either refusing to support software through 
donations or reinstalling to get rid of nag screens).

They want a better, faster and more stable viewer (Nicholaz, Dale's, OnRez, 
etc) for free not realizing that it takes as much work as creating 
"creative" content. Ok you get the idea, but no one cares about their own 
inconsistencies while they are screaming about the percieved threat to their 
particular income stream.

"Irony is nothing more than hypocrisy dressed in a jester's outfit."
