Your grammer was rather confusing. It seemed to me you were suggesting
that you somehow shouldn't have told us what you told us. That very
strongly implied that you were under some obligation. You also stated
some things as fact that are clearly rumors. If you believed them to be
facts, that would imply you knew something that none of us did. Work on
your grammar before getting upset when it gets mis-parsed.

I like good news. I don't like old, unfounded and illogical rumors being
portrayed as fact.

I didn't notice anybody saying that all piracy was fine and good. I saw
people arguing that copying NCU was fine. Your extrapolation is
unjustified.
