Then, why would you use pcbutts stolen tools? Same thing applies here.
The little weasel didn't write them.

Geeze. This is downright stupid now. PcButts (Christopher) has a myspace
page; at one point, it wasn't private. He has pictures of his family on
it; that's where they came from. In one of the pictures, he's celebrating
a birthday? or something and is sitting right in the middle of the big
table in the restaurant. Nobody stole or played a fast one on
Christopher, he's volunteered almost all of the information people have
collected on him.

He has since made the page private and you have to be his friend to get
access, but.. hell, it's myspace; not hard to get on someones friends
list if you really wanted to waste the time.

Have you been following along in the RIAA lawsuits? even the RIAA has a
hard time proving copyright infringement; even when the suspect admits
doing it.

Heh.

Very cost prohibitive to bring any legal action towards Christopher. And
he knows this.
