Microsoft Sued Over WGA

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the phoning-home dept.

Hope Thelps writes "The Seattle PI is reporting on a lawsuit being brought against Microsoft in response to their WGA spyware. Groklaw is also covering the story. Although there are a lot of similarities to Sony's rootkit, the actual harm done is less concrete. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out."

    Of'course I've used Solaris to killall the viewers.

    I don't see any other use for that specific George Clooney movie, other than burn their sensory organs back into primordial pre-evolution stubs.

    I bet Freedom Fighters are using it against those dangerous terrorists detained in Guantonamo Bay prison, in addition to the light-bulb treatment.
