I think this latest judgement is ridiculous.

It is possible to use the postal service to send copyrighted material,so then shouldn't we also hold the postal services responsible for "encouraging" breaches of copyright??

The internet is just another method of communication, I don't beleive it's right to "shoot the messenger".

I'm not saying I support breaching copyright, but surely shouldn't the people breaching copyright, and not the creators of the P2P software be held responsible??

There will be further activation issues to watch out for as Microsoft plans to offer a similar service to independent software vendors whereby they can "control" licensing through activation and other measures similar to the Software Protection Platform.
