Re: Rockin' on without Microsoft

Jim,

>year)   Why is that?

Because BSA hired Douie, Cheatum, & Howe?

Ball alleged you not have to pay your fees, but BSA's too!   Pretty wild if
true.  Can you imagine how many motions the prosecution can continue to come up
with if you are footing *both* bills with no recourse even if you prevail?

And it wasn't 8 copies.  It was 8% of the software on 72 PC's.  So only roughly
5-6 PC's were non-compliant.  You'd think they could choose a stronger case for
making a public spectacle of someone.
