Microsoft Warning Leaked Code Traders

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-a-bit-creapy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Broadand Reports notes that Microsoft is now sending snail mail warnings to downloaders of the leaked source code. They're also apparently working in conjunction with several un-named peer to peer vendors to send out legal warnings to any users who search for the leaked code. The notice on Microsoft's website has been updated to reflect the new warnings."

    Go hide behind the sweaty back of that blowhard Steve Ballmer, he'll protect you from those nasty, mean "code-traders".

    It was obvious since the start that MS would track down everyone who got a copy. I hope all of you who brag about seeing it get your asses sued off. Anyone who saw this code without MS permission should be rotting away in a jail.

    "I have the power to track people through P2P, too. I've found people in my apartment complex on the networks. I've even met a few friends that way. Too bad that doesn't mean that I'm a multi-billion dollar company."

    I call bullshit. Unless that is of course you know the IP addresses of the people in your apartment complex and the IP addresses of your friends. I mean, there's a reason the RIAA has to subpoena the other information from the ISPs, if they could do this like you claim to be able to, they could just send them the legal notices directly.

    So please, enlighten us as to how you can track people through P2P.

    Blacks should have never been allowed on the bus in the first place, front or back. Send them back to Africa with the rest of their stinking filth.
