You're quite wrong - I won't pay for a service not rendered.

Also, to native English speakers "service done to you" often has a negative connotation, presumably from the homophobic connotation. If that was unintentional, perhaps you could avoid the phrasing in future.

you might want to figure out how taking something you didn't pay for puts you on the moral high ground.

Steve, for someone who spends so much time and energy coming up with incredibly rigid definitions of right and wrong, you're so often wrong that it's actually funny sometimes. Sort of like arguing with biblical literalists. Compare that to your insistence that the legal system in the USA is the be-all and end-all of morality... see any parallel? When you accuse me of all sorts of lawbreaking and immorality because you don't understand the law, you've crossed the line into idiocy.

But while you're in your legalistic frame of mind,here's a question: if I write "this book is, and remains, the property of Moz" in a book then lend it to someone who will lend it on when they've read it, do I still own it? This has relevance since as you're aware I will hopefully soon have the right to make and read an electronic copy of a book that I own. I'd like to be prepared.
