While MS is technically in the right we have judges and juries for a reason. Judges and juries interpret the law and issue punishment for breaking the law. In special cases they may see that the law doesn't work. In these cases judges and juries law the groundwork for the ammendment / addition / repeal of laws. Yes, the Jim Crow laws used to be in effect - though in time they were deemed illegal.... I am not saying the the copyright laws are illegal, but that they may need ammendment for the internet. The advent of the internet, mass communication, and technology in general is changing the world around us. While I would love to write a diatribe in response to your offensive comments about our "Linux/communist agenda" I won't dignify it with anything more than the fact that not all linux users are communist, and in fact there is probably little if any link at all between capitalist users and communist users. Let's focus on what this is really about instead of slinging mud at each other, which ironically is exactly what you accused the slashdot community of doing to MS.
