		<description><![CDATA[As a fan of webcomics, I have found much joy in the discovery of the very intellectually stimulating and laugh-inducing comics of XKCD (the name alone being a literary joke). In the most recent comic, the author has been kind enough to point out the simplicity that comes with committing piracy of art online. Again, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=orwellianpigs.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4406935&amp;post=149&amp;subd=orwellianpigs&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
