    Just another case of corporate bullying destroying the lives of people who can't stand up for themselves against the corporate might. Remember back when it was people that had rights and not companies? *sigh*

    It's a shame to see the government and microsoft taking legal action against students...

    Most students end up working at least one crappy job, sometimes a shady one, due to the high cost of education in america. This was just a student trying to make money, it's no different than working as someone who gives out flyers.
