On another note: is Microsoft in trouble now?
Quote: In a unanimous decision, the justices ruled companies that build businesses with the active intent of encouraging copyright infringement should be held liable for their customers' illegal actions.
Could that include Microsoft's well known business tactic for years to allow and not actively hunt down the illegal use of their products in the home market and certain countries? Despite their huge R&D budget and total control of the API's (even WindowsUpdate) so they could have done something about that years ago.
