Boing Boing Threatened By Software Creator
mfh writes "StarForce has issued threats to Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow in retaliation to Cory's post about the anti-copy malware that installs itself along with many popular (and unpopular) video games." From the BoingBoing post: "Yesterday, I posted about StarForce, a harmful technology used by game companies to restrict their customers' freedom. StarForce attempts to stop game customers from copying their property, but it has the side-effects of destabilizing and crashing the computers on which it is installed. Someone identifying himself as 'Dennis Zhidkov, PR-manager, StarForce Inc.' contacted me this morning and threatened to sue me, and told me that he had contacted the FBI to complain about my 'harassment.'"
The company doing the threatening is in Russia! That means they are godless red commies, working to undermine the US freedom of speech and bring communism to the US. Supporting commies in anything they do makes you a terrorist! You even allude to "red-blooded" americans! My blood ain't red like you commie freaks, it's red, white, and blue. ...and keep your damn flouride out of my water supply you commie!
