Kaspersky Quits BSA Over SOPA Support

First time accepted submitter Cmdrm writes with an article about Kaspersky Lab quitting the BSA over their (now lukewarm) support of SOPA. From the press release: "Kaspersky Lab would like to clarify that the company did not participate in the elaboration or discussion of the SOPA initiative and does not support it. Moreover, the company believes that the SOPA initiative might actually be counter-productive for the public interest, and decided to discontinue its membership in the BSA as of January 1, 2012.'"

Difference between Europe and USA

[Anonymous Coward]

In America, Boy Scouts is a religious/paramilitary organization, where you get raped by old lecherous guys.
In Europe, Scouts is pretty much about building catapults, and making out with Girl Guides.

Not a viable option. If you work hard making a resume in LibrOffice yet it looks like crap on my system with MSOffice I will throw it in the recycling bin. It is ludricrious to send and receive documents without Windows and Office as it means unprofessionalism and lost sales. The sole reason businesses upgrade in the past was because customers would send attachments that only worked in newer versions of Office. Besides Windows is reliable now and just works. Linux can break during an updateand users are more familiar with windows.
