Since you're not exempt, I never asked any such thing.

You're welcome to drag out whatever documents you want, I really don't 
care what they say.  Whatever it is they say is not my business, rather 
it's my attorney's business - and maybe, some day, yours as well.

Clearly you're not paying attention, so tattoo this on your hynie if you 
have to....  I don't care what crap you think supports your position - 
it's my attorney that cares - that's why I pay her.  I don't concern 
myself with the bloody details of law, it's not my problem.  But I won't 
hesitate to make it someone else's problem if my legal staff can 
convince a judge to accept a case.  Now is not the moment you need to 
concern yourself with, later is where your attention should be focused 
on.  Got it?

I said no such thing.  Please try to keep up.

I don't limit myself to any particular law.  That's the judge's business.

I don't need to know the law, that's our attorney's business.

Cite whatever you want Rick, nobody's going to care until the verdict is 
in.  For some strange reason, you seem to think waving some papers 
around protects you from copyright infringement suits.  Clue:  I'll sue 
anyone I want any time I want, all you have to do is produce an attorney 
that can successfully defend your silly ass.  If I get you into a 
courtroom, your silly ass is going to need defending - for the next ten 
years if that's what it takes.  Eating beans during this time won't be 
my problem, it'll be yours.  Afterwards, if I lose, you're welcome to 
file a counter suit, and we'll start again with fresh dance cards.  Go 
ahead, make my year.
