Microsoft Warning Leaked Code Traders
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."
Eventually, everyone adapted to the new state of affairs and began inhaling other things. Almost everyone, that is. But not you! According to my records, you still inhale paste! You moron, you idiot, you imbecile, you gay nigger!
GNU/Why?! GNU/What GNU/the GNU/fuck GNU/is GNU/wrong GNU/with GNU/you?!
You moron, you idiot, you imbecile, you gay nigger!
So, I figure that it's in Microsoft's best interests to release the source-code, and claim that it's "leaked". The idea, is that this will offload some of the work from their QA department, as they can do a google search for "leaked microsoft source code", and see reviews, comments, and potential fixes.

Zhrodague.net - I do projects and stuff too.
To infringe on others IP? right...
So download from Freenet.
Nothing like being moderated up for encouraging people to break the law.
Nothing like being moderated up for just being a little fuckface. Are you really so naive as to believe that the main use of P2P is helping 'chinese dissidents'? Who the fuck cares about dissidents, gimme the kiddie porn and the win2k source code, baby!!
Does it mean that I am doing something ILLEGAL, by reading something that I haven't bought?
Yes, you are! Bookstores are for buying not browsing. Authors lose money everytime you use your eyes without paying for it! If you want to browse, go to the damn library you socialist!
No one here minds if you break the law as long as you don't personally profit from it.
"The point of Freenet is to allow that someone to post it, free of persecution."
So you're saying that Freenet's primary use is to circumvent copyright laws in countries that DO have them. And you wonder why music and software intustries are lobbying to get P2P networks like Freenet (don't know if they've been specifically mentioned) shut down?
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
You certainly have made a lot of assumptions about my beliefs and character from a single post stating the simple fact that encouraging people to break the law is a crime in itself.
Advocating crime usually isn't a good way to shed an anarchist reputation, or to get people (you know, the ones who write these laws) to start taking you seriously.

We must be in Soviet Russia, because it seems that Microsoft is afraid of you!
President Kerry would be good for terrorists, bad for USAns.
