Using 'wine' illegal in USA?

technically it is infrigment, however, if that was pushed it would be a black eye against microsoft being a monopoly, so they don't press it.

frankly i agree with most answers:
I don't care

From what I learned about it it was reversed engineerd to run exe but has no actual ms code. I don't think for a second bills worried about taking a black eye
he would sue himself if he was allowed to

I am not going to worry about the legality of it until it goes to court. If it ever does. Until then I will use it as I did Napster, until it was declared illegal.

Yeah thats what limewire is for

But the OP had nothing to do with Microsoft. The problem is that wine has cracked SafeDisc which is a copy protection scheme developed by Macrovision Corporation.

People don't need to get all riled up about MS when that's not even what the thread is about.

OH I thought he was saying microsofts code was being used. And I know they are not going to let some one get away with that no matter how they would look
