I'm glad, laughter is healthy

I didn't want to mention scans but yeah... If you think about it, we weren't "safe" from the moment first scan was uploaded. And what about unofficial translations of tracklists (for the cases when official one doesn't exist of course)? Are we even allowed to do that, also legally speaking? Everything is part of the copyrighted intelectual property, title included. And we definitely weren't authorized to translate it.

So in a way, we're screwed And now lyrics should become OK too? Interesting.
