Some years ago my statement of intent to bind executables to specific 
hardware was arraigned here.

I wonder how you would call that arraigning, when considering your 
statement above. For this please observe, that printing a book is also 
binding some intellectual property to some specific hardware.

Please observe further, that the owners of the website holding the 
torrent promise to remove torrents for copyrighted files from their 
website on request of the copyright holder. I believe that no one is 
allowed to criticize a decision of copyright holders to take no action 
on beeing informed of a possible copyright breach. Especially is an 
information on a possible copyright breach no slap in the face of 
holder of the copyright.
