Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:
> Microsoft Anti-piracy Technology Is Patent Infringement

I'm glad you quoted 'Theft', because AFAIAC calling the implementation
of knowledge "theft" is utter bullshit.
Will we now hear squeals of "stealing their hard work" from the likes of
Hadron, or will he slither off back under his rock?
Hmm, that's quite a conundrum ... maintain a consistent position by
denouncing Microsoft's actions as "stealing Uniloc's hard work", or
concede the immorality of Intellectual Monopoly in order to defend his
gangster hero's in Redmond.
I predict absolute silence, much like you don't hear public complaints
from gangsters when they're attacked by other gangsters, because the
positions of both parties are equally indefensible.
