Of course it was, but that doesn't change the fact that you're dishonestly
trying to attribute Tab's statements to me, and comments made to Tab as
comments to me.

The fact that you couldn't actually find anything that *I* actually said to
argue against shows that you're clutching at straws.

That's all fine and dandy, except that Roy posted his "personal blog" to
COLA in a fit of shameless self-promotion.

The artists is from the US.  The web site Roy stole it from was in the US.
And even under British copyright law, he was still violating it.

Donating your ill gained profits to charity doesn't absolve you from
breaking the law.

No, it pointed to the Roy's moral compass, which was clearly off.  As is
yours, since you're defending him, and pretending his flagrant violation of
both copyright, and an artists livelihood is no big deal.

You, sir, are a hipocrite.

I've stated on several occasions I don't agree with Flatfish, and don't
approve of his nymshifting.

I repeat.  Why would you expect me to know?
