That's all he was trying to do. If you've done your homework and read Acidus' webpage (http://www.se2600.org/acidus/index.html), you'd know he went straight to the buzzcard office and told them about the flaws. Not only did they threaten charges against him, Blackboard tried to get him to sign an "I'm full of shit" document (which, if you've read the 2600 articles, he isn't). So, after they essentially told him to screw himself, he did the next best (capitalist) thing; he sought to put Blackboard, which markets a sub-optimal, falsely advertised product, out of business while increasing the market share. And, instead of waiting for some script kitty to f*ck everything around and steal, say, $1M from the computer lab or attack the girls in a locked dorm, he thought he'd _force_ Blackboard and the buzzcard office to come clean by exposing the system frauds. Instead, they've forced their lawyers on him, a 22-year-old college kid with 1/2 a degree and no assests; now, do you honestly think Blackboard is gagging/potentially suing Acidus because his article is _*false*_? Hell, no, they're trying to cover their ass before several major universities (currently with their heads in the sand) to stick their collective foot up it.
Next time, "prince" Ender, perhaps you'll do your research before posting.
