Okay, you want to be serious about this, let's be serious. My point is that Pirate sites could say the same thing. Would they then be absolved or all culpability? I think not.
Like the trucks that have signs saying "Stay back, not responsible for broken windshields" -- it's total B.S. Just because you say it, doesn't make it true.
