Thanks for the reply --- Copyright law is anything but "clear cut". It's quite tenuous. Your company is single handedly going to bring this to a head. The bottom line is that M$ relies on the embraced and extended (innovated) copyright law to enact it's entire business model. It uses every ounce of 'Government' available to it. In the context of being competitive globally, that means extending the long arm of government way past it's borders on M$'s behalf. This all came up because many if not most of the shareholders on this thread, and in fact, your own bosses in asserting some phony libertarian indignancy make some claim that the Government should stay out of MSFT's beeswax ("U.S. Out of Microsoft!"). The reality of course is MSFT shareholders are entirely reliant on the 'innovative' use of the Government. -JCJ
