This reminds me of the World Recording Industry Army that Frank Trollman came up with.. they bust down your door and execute you, then put the execution trideo on the matrix as a warning...

When you "voluntarily" comply to the user terms of a piece of software via its clickwrap, you aren't under arrest, and if you want to "take the fifth", there's a "simple" option- don't install the software. If you do, its just like deciding not to shut up when the cops pull you over; it's you're own choice. Microsoft basically already does this with their OSes, yah? AFAIK, it checks for illegal versions of MS office products and reports them... |

See, that's why you get an illegal version of the OS with that bit stripped out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

The trid could be outfitted with a mandatory registration and a trojan to find possible infringing material (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) And they get a source for a new warning trid.Didn't M$ profit from illegal proliferation of their older OSes? |
