Pragamatically, I cede yours and others point of the releative effect of source code stealing and finished product piracy. And all the analogies are good illustrations as far as I'm concerned.

Philosophically however, souce code w/out binary is a hobby, not a game. Granted the translation/compilation step is an afterthought, but someone had to originally toil to develop this mechanism.

Good rejoinder twifkak, to the pinko comment. I have the same problem and sentiments concerning the lack of any good jazz station in the so-called 'live music capitol of the world' here where I live. I'd settle for more dead on jazz anyday.
