    Read this and laugh at them all :D

    HA! I couldn't believe when I stumbled across this posting on slash dot.

    I can't stop laughing so much, its ironies of ironies for these super large DRM heavy companies (MS especially, WGA, HiDef playback in Vista DRM...) to be sued by a DRM COMPANY!!! For not doing enough to boot

    Oh, I just love it. Hope they nail em all for a HUGE deal of money for making all those people's lives miserable with DRM (especially the MILLIONS of users MS has invalidated with WGA, I know two friends who had that happen). I realize thats not the point of the suite, company probably just wants to get money but I think its fair justice.

    Anyway, just putting this out there, any thoughts?

    PS: Hope I don't sound too mean in wishing that >.>.

    I know its schadenfreude (or epicaricacy) but the idea of a DRM/copyright feeding frenzy amongst these corporate sharks does conjure up images of vultures coming home to roost and fowling their own nests. The great joy now will be watching them try to get this particular cat back into Pandora's box of worms.

    Dog eat dog.

    We are creatures driven by conflict. If there isn't any, we will create some and turn on ourselves. These companies created a conflict out of this DRM crap, and now they're turning on themselves. Serves them right.
