Would this be correct?
Nope, your reasoning is as flawed as your courtesy.

I haven't seen 416,000 posts to GFY of content that infringes the rights of GFY members. Remember I said "For every post to content that infringes a copyright owner here on GFY, I could post a dozen images that infringe nothing...." I doubt I've seen fifty such posts, and there are easily more than fifty-times-a-dozen non-infringing images in alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.vintage alone. Don't try to overstate my argument, I use words with extreme precision. Try to follow along.

Still you argue as if your disputed premise had been proven. Have you ever had a course in logic? You have to establish they've stolen something before you can demand an explanation for the alleged theft. And I'm disputing the notion that GUBA steals anything.

You would be suprised.

And yet -- wondrous miracle -- here I stand defending it and disputing your unproven accusations. Perhaps it's not quite so undefendable as all that, eh?
