Ah.  Right, then.  I own this Usenet post.  This Usenet post is a BRILLIANT
WORK OF ART and it is valued at one million dollars.  If you download this
post onto your hard drive, you are STEALING MY BRILLIANT AND CREATIVE WORK and
you are nothing more than a PETTY THIEF LOUT.  Well, OK, not really "petty", I
mean, we're talking about a million US dollars here, but the point here is
that I don't care to be lectured by a common criminal on my morals,
particularly when said common criminal owes me a million smackeroos.
