They say they are gonna crack down on piracy of intellectual property of all kinds. I was gonna paste the article, but it says it is copywrited.

Just one more attack on our rights, under the guise of something else.

How so ?

I'm not concerned so much about protecting copyrights and intellectual property. That's a good thing.
As always, it's HOW the government decides to go about it that is cause for concern.

Yup.
I just found out today that it is nearly impossable to get a cracked copy of Widows 7.
Not that I...........I mean..............what I'm trying to say................just checking, really....................you know.

You are joshing me right? Windows 7 in x86 and 64bit is easy to get. They even have no seriel version that automatically bypass the initial genuine product registration. Usenet is crawling with Win7 and has been since from the beginning. I just don't understand torrent and P2P users.

Oh what ever...

What happened to appointing a cyber security czar like they promised last April? Are they saying stolen music and movies is more important than "national security?"

I wonder if this has anything to do with Joe Biden being in the pockets of the media industry and the SIX music industry lawyers Obama appointed to the Justice Department.

Obama unless the angry that a lot of his supporters are downloading his two books for free.

Bah! Real geeks just mod their system BIOS and then install Windows 7 OEM..

I am running 7 Ultimate on more than one system right now. One thinks it is a Dell system, and the other thinks it is an ASUS Notebook. lol

I am not one.

I am only speaking about what I heard from a Sys. Admin.
No more "1 Corporate licence and activation code for 20 corporate computers".
It is now "1 Corporate licence and 1 activation code per 1 corporate computer".
One, and only one activation code can be in play online at any given time.

A complete revamping of Microsofts security system.

I cannot imagine how laws can be passed which make it illegal for me to know something
