Microsoft Sends Takedown Notice To MSFreePC.com

Posted by simoniker on Monday September 29, 2003 @06:45AM from the misrepresentation-or-public-service? dept.

DJFelix writes "Just to add some more drama in California this week, legal counsel for Microsoft issued a takedown notice to Lindows CEO Michael Robertson, demanding the immediate shutdown of the MSFreePC.com website. The MSFreePC.com website allows people who purchased certain Microsoft products in California, or used certain Microsoft products in California to submit a claim in the $1.1 billion class action suit Microsoft lost in California. The site is still up for now, but how long will it last?"

I instant messaged the URL for MSFreePC.com to a lot of people I know, and most of them told me they they were ineligible to participate because, get this, they obtained the qualifying software illegally. They all missed the point about becoming after the fact. It couldn't be more clear.

No one reads anything anymore. Case in point, notice the two occurrences of "they" above. (fp)
