I understood that, I meant that the illegal copyrighted text sharing has
not stopped other projects offering that possibility. My opinion is that
if a company wants to gain success by offering a feature which will be
used for piracy, they are morally in a very strange position if they at
the same time don't take any responsibility of the resource sharing AND
require that people honor their itellectual property.
