Just curious. Oh, and does anyone know if Oxford, IMO the REAL repository of the English language, has also changed its definition to suit the RIAA? I would check online but it's a subscription service and I am currently poor. =P -Kasreyn P.S. It's STILL a ludicrous use of the word "piracy", regardless of what some dipshit lexicographer decided.
