I'm not saying that Debian is Napster.
I'm saying that we both have to follow the same kinds of laws.
If Debian is not doing anything illegal, then of course Debian
is not going to run afoul of these laws. But the assumption
that we're not doing anything illegal can't be used to prove
that we're not doing anything illegal.
