Hack: You watch physics lectures and Harlem Globetrotters [on YouTube]?

Gates: This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.

Hack: But those were stolen, correct?

Gates: Stolen's a strong word. It's copyrighted content that the owner wasn't paid for. So yes.

That settles it........I paid hard earned cash for my pc's......When Vista comes next year.....I think I might "borrow" it from Bill.........."Stolen's a strong word" eh?

Funny. So the Big Man Who Hates It When People "Borrow" OSes admits to engaging in the same activity with another media format? LOL @ Gates...pwned.
