magine my delight today when I see the search term from Yahoo for “free live sound mixing software” and got the following result, page after page, for the download sites:

SoftSea decided they’d be “original” and rather than copy the Download.com text for the listing, like the other unimaginative excuses for homo sapiens, SoftSea instead ripped the content off my home page.
