How do you know that my arguments won't hold up in a court room?  They are
sound arguments legally based on the national copyright law.  Only the
Supreme Court could possibly overrule "programming research" by a change in
the law.  I have proven my point in many various ways and I seem to have
come out on top every single time.  I have replied to every e-mail that has
been sent and still proven "programming research" and the distribution of
ROM images under the copyright law exception to be completely and utterly
legal.  I may have seemed redundant at times, but that was to emphasize my
point.  You have all presented very good arguments against "programming
research."  However, I wouldn't have initially replied if I hadn't thought
the whole thing through in the first place.
