"Piracy" is a commonly used term for copyright infringement. You made several posts saying simply that it's "never piracy" before you got around to letting anyone know what point you were making (that you disagree with the way the word is used). I'm not saying that piracy is or is not an appropriate term. I'm saying that you wasted everyone's time by not making your point clearly, and by continuing this off-topic discussion *which is not about C++*. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst-u@mib.org Will write code for food. void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
