Just how do you expect us to "address" the fact that its illegal? I'm sorry, but we're not just going to ignore the law and hope "The Man" doesn't notice. But aside from that, principles are important, and our distribution is based on those principles. We can't be everything for everyone, and trying to be so is a losing battle. There are some legal ways of getting some things onto your system, but we are not in the business of being enablers. There are fundamental reasons we don't include some software, nor make it "easy" to access. Also see ajax's response. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
