Whoa... Almost posted this in with the old Viodentia comments. I'm curious too, though.

So they didn't really know who that Viodentia guy was/is anyway? Isn't that somewhat strange, suing him like that? Just hypothetically speaking... what if he turned out to be a lot of people, like a whole lot of people, all holding relatively equal responsibilty? Say he really turned out to be everyone opposed to DRM?

Metaphorically, he is. Suing him is a bit of a slap in the face, if there were any way for supporters to come immediately to his aid that would be different. I'm not aware of a direct way of doing that...

I'm not saying it isn't dishonest to break your agreement with a company, but when the agreement is so widespread hard to oppose I don't expect anyone to keep it. It's a corporation, with a mixed reputation at that, people don't feel like they're hurting anyone. I'm not suggesting that they really are, Microsoft won't go out of business over this. Worst case scenario they'll lose their hold of the market. Certainly wouldn't want that happening.

Go Alex.
