Emailing: 25227(Microsoft fined for piracy)

The subject line here caught my attention, but it was really hard to find
the article since:
"Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments:
25227.url."
Then, I had forgotten that TheRegister was ".co.uk" and not ".com".
Almost looks like a conspiracy :-)

But is an interesting article with a familiar pattern.
It looks like M$ thought that that they had gotten away with their piracy
when they bankrupted
the company -- only to see the software's individual authors continue the
court battle.
I wonder if this was included in the long list of companies ruined by M$ in
the US anti-trust case.

BTW: the text form URL is:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/7/25227.html

(hopefully that did not get blocked :-)
