How exactly is he supposed to have broken the law?

Telling people how to stop their own computer doing something they don't want it to do?

Just goes to show how much money is being wasted on cowboys who's copy protection routines are so flawed they're easily avoided.

Question is, what percentage of all losses made by the industry as a whole can be equated to the use of this protection routine? Bigger or smaller than the so called loss by file sharing.

This one must take the do you think we are stupid ? award. If he can gave the court a technical description of how computer hackers can assume the identity of unsuspecting computer users through a variety of tricks type lecture he surely can take basic steps to make sure his computer isn't 'hacked'.

What a muppet

True, but didn't he just instill resonable doubt if the authorities didn't check his machine to see how exactly it was launched.

Re: Oh, ANTI-Piracy cases gone to far
Proably cause their PR department was receiving emails in the hundreds posting the above link I gave to the MS Knowledge base. Not to mention cnet, techtv, yahoo, my local new station have long before this paper came out said to stop auto-execution of CDs hold shift. If anything the retards made it more widely known now.

Isn't installing "drivers" on someone's computer without their permission illegal?

Re: Oh, ANTI-Piracy cases gone to far
There was an Annie Lennox cd that automatically installed that driver on my machine.

I've got a better case for suing them than they do of suing that guy.
