I remember a while ago NVIDIA had two models of graphics cards, One would work average and the other would go super-superfast. The difference between the two (apart from about $1,900) was that the super-superfast card and the normal card had the same hardware chip by chip, but the slower card had a line of code on firmware that said "Don't go faster then X speed"
Isn't this the exact same scenario? "Don't open more then 3 programs"?
Yeah, Occasionally they actually run a nethack course too, Very interesting, but it's not run by a prof as you may guess. (And yes, I watched a few lessons)

I think the main point of it was
RIAA: "Hey, We're going to give the judge a huge book of useless material that means NOTHING!
NYCL: "I can one up you at that, and have"
Wouldn't this be illegal?

Isn't it obvious if a molecule is a cylinder cage, and you take out a line... it makes a flat surface?

Boss: Hey timmy, You done with that program yet?
Timmy: Working in it, trying to finish the program so people can't put in null and break the program.
Boss: ... WHY THE HELL DID YOU SPEND TIME DOING THAT?!
Timmy: It's ethical business practice to make your programs work in a friendly and reliable way.
Boss: >:[
Sony Boss: Hey, we want to develop a way so that people can't steal our files ^_^
Joseph Fake: ... Well to do that, you'd need to rootkit a system, and THAT is inethical and evil.
Sony Boss: ... What's your point?
I hope my scenarios clarified the situation of "It's not nessisarilly the person's fault."
