[gui-talk] did anyone see this coming?

[Ray Foret Jr]

My own thoughts exactly.  This is quite a big bone I have to pick with some blind people who; to speak frankly, feel that their being blind excuses them from law breaking.  it does not.  Just because one is blind does not mean that one can or should be able to illegally obtain copy righted material.  Some blind people whom I have run across in my time on various lists posit that they have the right to break the law and get copy righted material all they want.  Yes, this includes keys to JAWS and Window-eyes also.  Some blind people are so brazen, they actually come right out and ask for license keys to screen reading software which under normal circumstances would cost them at least $1000.00.  I suspect that with these blind people, they feel like they have gotten such a raw deal from the rest of the world that the world owes them everything for free just because they are blind.  when ever I have raised this point with them they go ape and you would not believe the things they say.
