Why do so many corporations think they can ignore laws they don't like (i.e. the first amendment) and make up new ones arbitratily (well.. I suppose that happens all the time, doesn't it?)
I don't understand how anyone expects this to work. Maybe if they had tried this five years ago it could have gotten somewhere, but do they really expect the millions of so-called pirates to give up their ability to use their computers the way they want? Any company that wants to do business only with "trusted" computers will find that a good percentage of their customers are using older MS operating systems, or, even better, switched to something supported by a community of developers who don't consider users to be inherently untrustworthy.
