Pirates "collect" pirated software. They prolly use about 5% of the software they pirate. The people that are going to get nailed are the people using the software, not the guys horking the programs off on IRC.
from the article: "The move is the latest in Microsoft's attempt to demonstrate that Windows has both technical and cost advantages over Linux, which has been gaining share in the server market at Microsoft's expense."
Windows has an cost advantage? Last time I checked Windows cost $$$$ and linux is free. In order to demonstrate a cost advantage, Microsoft will need to make Windows free.

baseband
A transmission medium through which digital signals are sent
without frequency shifting. In general, only one
communication channel is available at any given time.
Ethernet is an example of a baseband network.
See also broadband.

broadband
adj 1: of or relating to or being a communications network in which
the bandwidth can be divided and shared by multiple
simultaneous signals (as for voice or data or video)
2: responding to or operating at a wide band of frequencies; "a
broadband antenna" [syn: wideband]
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 FEB 02):
broadband
A transmission medium capable of supporting a
wide range of frequencies, typically from audio up to video
frequencies. It can carry multiple signals by dividing the
total capacity of the medium into multiple, independent
bandwidth channels, where each channel operates only on a
specific range of frequencies.

I think the RIAA would overlook it, if it was Brittany Spears or Madonna, considering those artists bring in alot of money for the RIAA.
