I never said that you were violating copyrights. I said "*IF* you'd had
them online". You're just throwing out a red herring to avoid discussing
the fact that your site has absolutely nothing to do with freeware.
You're simply an Amazon affiliate who's spamming this group. Perhaps I
should contact Amazon and report you. We'll see how they look on usenet
spamming.
