    You're talking about something totally different.

    Answer my argument:

    - I think Tivoization is *good*.

    - Your license stops something *good*.

    Ergo:

    - Your license is *bad*.

    There is NOTHING TO FORGIVE!

    Your whole idiotic argument misses the point:

    What Tivo did is *good* in my opinion!

    Can't you get that through your skull?

    They gave the software back! Be happy! They *followed* the rules. They
    *followed* the tit-for-tat.
