UCITA sounds like a fair law to me...and i could really care less, i don't use any software that has such restrictive licenses that would need to be recalled in such a manner.
also, how do companies plan to remotly shut down their products? i don't see how you can't just undo what ever they do to disable it (edit windows registry, reinstall software, block w/ firewall), of course, this would be piracy i guess, since you're no longer authorized to use the software...but if you break the license, even w/o UCITA, couldn't MS just call you up and demand you stop using Micosoft Foo '99?
