That was not the link and I left the original link in the post so that  
you  can simply look up and confirm that it is not the link.

You publicly accused me of being a shill for the RIAA, twice. Of  
course I think you wish me harm. You are doing me harm by attacking my  
reputation. Apparently your ill will does  stem from the simple fact

I keep saying that the particular file sharing protocol doesn't

household is  what matters. I don't understand why you keep going on  
about protocols.
