We chose not to give out candy this year. I wish people understood the rules that no lights means no candy. Which means, don't keep knocking on the frickin door! Anyways, I didn't feel particularily festive this year and I wasn't in the mood to hop back and forth between the door and some cheap candy that I wouldn't enjoy eating myself. Oh well.

This was actually a response on Jeff's blog, but it got so long that I decided to post here instead. Anyways for anyone who doesn't know, more and more lawsuits are being given to peer-to-peer software companies and consumers alike. Even Apple is under pressure from the Industry to raise prices.
