I have read this thread with a mixture of sadness and anger.

Let's get back to basics 'let those amongst you without sin cast the first stone'. So I assume that no-one here has ever taped a record, downloaded a track or photocopied rather more than allowed without paying a royalty to the copyright owners. No-one's ever borrowed more of a tune than's allowed without acknowledgment.

Yes, there are flaws in PK (and many others) but I find the level of vitriol (from the original Mustrad article onwards) upsetting and I feel unwarranted, and I wonder how many of us are squeaky clean.
