Bull.

That's like saying I can't drink Coca-Cola in a glass because I bought it in a can! That's dumb. That's like saying that it's illegal to use a 240 Volt lightbulb in a 120 Volt socket! Sure, The lightbulb is patented, but I still bought the lightbulb! I can use it how I want!

Yeah, I've had enough of this. I'm going to install Linux on my PC right NOW. Mandrake Linux 9.0, here we come... Be back in a few hours after I install Linux and then play broomball...

[James S]

What does Linux have to do with... have to do with ANYTHING?

I'm not going to plead innocent. I'm going to challenge the constitutionality of the case. There is no way that they can say that I don't own the software that I buy in a lay sense. If they do no one will buy any software, or atleast not pay so frickin much.

theres that software that copies the cd to a new hdd partition and kinda pretends its a proper cd drive. is that what you want? thats not really illegal, its just convenient.
