Some people just want to be "rebels" and just cop attitudes to be different. As more people come to know/love Linux, the attitudes will come around from "rebels fighting The Man(tm)" to "using the right tool for the right job."

You've got some stock that I assume you legally obtained and post-facto, they want to have the stock turned over to THEM? Shouldn't it be given to customs at least?

Cry me a river.
"Keep your grubby laws off my computer"
Anyone want to make bumperstickers of this?
When it reduces the rights of the citizen for "the good of the state"
But where are they going to put all these extra people?
And your eyes can see how many flashes a second?
I'm gonna say that your eyes aren't quick enough to tell what the hell it's really doing.
IANAL, but...oh, wait, he isn't either.
So he's admitting it doesn't take a lawyer to know that M$ broke the law. Isn't that special.
It's good to see the courts saying that games don't mitigate culpability.
Now, who's up for a quick game of Global Thermonuclear War?

Seriously...what will prevent monopolies from forming if these laws are stricken?
But if the business ordered a bunch of them, wouldn't customs suspect about 100 of these packages flowing in?
And why the hell was this marked flamebait 5 seconds after I posted? I'm asking a legit question, dammit!
