I know MS is your hero but, sorry, that's the truth. What's more WPA/WGA/WGAN/SPP marks the end of Microsoft's golden years and the beginning of them being as relevant as Amiga.Leythos wrote:And the point which you missed, saying that they were doing the "Right Thing" is that nothing has changed with WGA/WPA/WGAN, and that they've been going after pirates for years, the only thing that makes this news is that they are going after a LARGE number all at the same time.In article <ujV1dcN$GHA.3584@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, aka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx says...It wasn't really a long article, Leythos. From the article:http://today.reuters.com/news/articleinvesting.aspx?view=CN&storyID=2006-10-31T082005Z_01_L31884884_RTRIDST_0_TECH-MICROSOFT-URGENT.XML&rpc=66&type=qcnaMS is not changing how they do things - they just expanded the way they have been going after pirates to include more than a few countries.
Yes, MS, this is the correct way, not forcing your paying customers to prove their innocence and assuming they are guilty.
They have always gone after pirates and "customers", so nothing is different.
"Today's announcement marks ... ***the first time*** the company has focused its efforts worldwide to bring legal action against online dealers,"
My point, which you missed, was that this is the way to deal with pirates, not assume ALL of your paying customers are thieves and forcing them to jump through flawed WPA/WGA/WGAN/SPP hoops to prove their innocence!
Read it again - nothing is new and nothing has changed.
BS, MS has gone after pirates for years, google for it.
False. They have only given lip service. They allowed piracy for exactly the reasons I stated.
I don't care for MS and your showing your immaturity when suggesting that MS is "my hero".
Sorry, but it's the impression you give, in spades.
Nothing has changed, nothing is different, they are still doing the same thing they always have.
I find WPA, etc. to be different. Going after online distributors of pirated MS products, according to the article, is different.
