It might be of interest to some of you that Richard "Lord British" Garriott of Ultima fame actually bought one of the rovers from the Russians in the 90s.
My CoCo had a glorious 32k of ram and a.87 MHz 6809 processor. With a poke you could copy the rom to ram to reveal another 32k of ram (oooohhh-aaaahhhh) and with another poke you double the CPU speed.
The threat of a three-year prison term kicks in when anyone makes an illicit copy of a movie "available on a computer network accessible to members of the public," when the film "was intended for commercial distribution but had not been so distributed at the time." Once the film is commercially distributed, the felony penalties appear to no longer apply.
So it covers the pre-release of films on the net, a subtle but important distinction...
Although I guess it's technically a hijacker this is a bitch to uninstall. It took me about an hour on the phone to help a buddy get it off his machine. I does a nice job of disgusing itself with file names that blend in well with system system filenames like msupdate.exe, winshow.dll and win.reg.

That's it! Everybody out of the internet! NOW!
I don't have a problem reading/writing word docs with open office? Do you?
