True, but the thing is that they (as in Curve) have NEVER SAID that 
Garbage ripped them off, so you're doing them an injustice by 
continually - whether you are intending to or not - implying that they 
did, allowing you to then go on with your own immature "boo hoo" 
statements... :)

Give it a rest, mate
