Surprising harassment

[Eric Hattemer]

"The Business Software Alliance, a software industry lobbying group, estimates that 24 percent of all software in the U.S. is pirated, amounting to a loss of $2.6 billion in 2000."

The BSA must not have access to college dorms, otherwise they'd have to up those figures quite a bit :).

  Cyberclops, who I believe to be be in Colorado, sent me an article about heavy-handed legal bullying by Microsoft at

  http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2779270,00.html .   I'm surprised at this kind of harassment, even from Microsoft.  Still, it does point to compelling reasons for businesses to turn to open source.
