IANAL, but doesn't this amount to "selective enforcement" of a copyright? I thought that the idea was that if you have only go after some people infringing your rights, but knowingly ignore others, especially for arbitrary reason, doesn't that potentially void your copyright?
"Murder" is also defined in Webster as slang for "something difficult, uncomfortable, or dangerous."
Thus Windows XP is murder, and Microsoft a gang ("a group of people who socialize regularly") of murderers.
Connotations are more important, sometimes, than denotations.
