It's a pity, but things change. You can't expect to pay
the same tax amount as 20 years ago, just because when you
payed that tax for first time was 20 or 30 years ago.

As everybody knows, all those photos belong to me and were stolen by the 
really-bad-guy, which posted them on the net, where they were caught by 
the poor wikipedians.
If he doesn't want me to sue him for illegally use of my IP, he must 
delete all of my images uploaded there, for he can't prove they're not 
mine. ;-)
