If he says that much. There is a local commercial here in AZ for a law firm that has the lawyer saying a potential client asked if a driver needed legal representation in a certain situation. The response was something like all drivers are entitled to equal representation then goes on to extoll doing business with his law firm. He never answered the original question. If you ask a lawyer for his favorite color in one word, the response will be plaid.

Sounds like a politician to me (but then most politicians are lawyers).

Sadly, that's true.

Studies (I can't remember where, but I know I read it somewhere) have shown that many who torrent are similar to me. Personally, this is my planned way forward in the future. Download a book, if I like it, buy it. If not, don't. In fact, that can even be done legally with Amazon's 7-day return policy on ebooks ... as long as a digital copy exists.

oh yes
