NoStop said:You can play lawyer all you want, but the reality is that 'dems with
the bucks make the rules.
LOL! The Republicans control two out of the 3 branches of gov't, and
the third is centrist.
You want to take MickeyMouse on legally?
Good luck!
I don't have to. It is up to them under both copyright law and contract
law to sue me. They don't sue me, my interpretation of the law is valid
for me.
Even the DOJ couldn't sustain a real challenge to
MickeyMouse's illegal activities. Gates has a war chest in the
hundreds of millions of dollars to do whatever he wants in the legal
arena. It's just like the RIAA, when they decide to slam a file
sharer, most just cave in and settle out of court.
That's because the RIAA have been very smart to only go after those that
distribute music over the web. They haven't gone after one person that
has only downloaded.
Distributing copyrighted material to others is a violation of copyright
law.
The reality is, MickeyMouse can determine what it considers
significant enough hardware changes to prevent a re-activation of the
OS and thus force the end-user to purchase a new license.
They can't yet. All PA tells them that enough hardware has changed to
required activation, not what exact hardware has changed. MS can not
figure out if XP is on a totally different PC unless the person tells
the PA phone rep that it is a totally different computer.
So EULA at
the end doesn't mean squat. If you want to continue to be a slave of
MickeyMouse you are forced to play by MickeyMouse's rules.
LOL! You are totally fooling yourself if you think I'm playing by MS's
rules.
That's
always the way it's been with MS and always will be. Get over it!
When you get fed up enough, you do have other options.
Yeah, disable some of my hardware, and neuter some others, and run
linux! Please! If I want to run a server I'll build a computer to run
linux, but right now I want my multimedia computer, run my games and not
castrate my system, so linux is not a realistic solution.
Don't know whether you ever read chapter 7, but maybe you should ...

"Microsoft doesn't care where you want to go today. You'll go wherever
Microsoft tells you to go, period."
LOL! FUD. An educated consumer knows how to protect themselves for the
tyranny of the corporate elites.
