LISENCE

[ceedee]

a flawed analogy questioned by
proposing another flawed one
how interesting

a music cd is not installed on the playing device
and as such is a different thing

At least I compare one copyrighted work to another copyrighted work, and
not to a friggin' drivers license.

Actually, extend my analogy a step and it fits a little better; what if
the CD came with a license that said you could only rip its songs to a
single hard drive or MP3 player? Moral? Enforceable?

"extending" bullshit still doesnt change the fact that it is bullshit

the licence is quite clear, you either follow it and be legal
or you dont. Its up to you.

The only thing that's BS is your imposing your opinion as that of a
judge, and MS has yet to try to legally enforce their so-called
"License" one individual for over a decade, by bringing it before a real
judge. So until MS gets some balls, the legality of MS's so-called
"license" becames increasingly more & more suspect the longer MS ignores
legally enforcing it, in a real court of law.

Or, if you feel so strongly, you could get some balls and challenge
the legality of the "license" in a court of law.

Are you offering to fund my legal challenge for the next decade. In the
US, all we have to do is break the terms that are unconscionable, then
it's up to the other party, in this case MS, to try to convince a court
to enforce those terms. So it MS that doesn't have the balls to enforce
their terms, because they knowingly & willfully have allowed End Users
to break those terms while never once trying to legally enforce the
terms for over a decade by legal means, in a court of law.

As for me having balls or not. I announce to MS, in one of the private,
password-protected forums, that I willfully broke their One computer
terms, and that was over 2 years ago, and I'm still waiting.
