They (CDr/DVDr CDs and Burner manufactures) do not sue because they are already giving money!
Every Music CDR since the AHRA was enacted has a hidden tax built into the price! (2% of the manufacturers sales) This is supposedly to pay the artists for home recording.
With the VLK agreement any new installation requires the latest version of office software. Servers are not subject to this since some software was designed specifically for older versions. My apologies for leading on that servers were upgraded to the latest version everytime an updated OS was released. I thought this was/. and people already knew this.
The only people upgrading are IT departments and corporations that just like to spend money.
The reason why corporations upgrade to the latest version is because the Volume License Key renewal requires it! You do not own software anymore you have a license to use the software. This is also part of the Software Assurance Program; which allows you to have one full year of major product updates. If you think that is a waste wait until your contract allows technical support from M$. So on the day you reboot your MS2003 Enterprise Server, and it doesn't come back up, and the MS TAC sifts through the registry with you and you add a " ; " which resolves the issue, and saves your ass from restoring from a backup. That waste has just been written off by the countless man-hours that you saved a company with a low number of 500 users (500 users X 6 actual working hours ((minus lunch, smoke, solitaire, surfing breaks)) = 3000/hrs of labor).

Guilty by association - or even profiling... no it's not legal but law enforcement does it everyday.

I was under the impression that it was China who blocked Google, and not the other way around?
