These people are morons. Download.com allows ANYONE to upload their software. It doesn’t do targeted promotions either. They are automatic based on the number of downloads achieved.

These idiots need to figure out how the internet works before they try to sue over it.

“The likes of CBS have been screwing us “little guys” for years, now Alki comes along with the money and ability to screw them back…..what do you guys do?…..you come out in defence of CBS…..UN-FU-KIN-BELIEVABLE”

Credit where credit is due. I don’t like Microsoft but I must admit they did a good job on Windows 7 (admittedly after testing everything that could go wrong using Vista on poor consumers). I dislike Apple a great deal but I still recommend their products for people I know would be more comfortable with a closed system run by an ultra-authoritarian system administrator given real power.

I also came out rooting for Darth Vader every time he choked an official imperial incompetent.

It is not impossible that Sony will, one day, actually do some good, but I’m not hopeful. If they do I’ll respond with surprised applause.

CNET (and here, CBS) is actually doing some good in this case, and we really should encourage such behaviour.

prob is supreme court already ruled twice that infringing links are up to the user to visit not AN ISP , OR GOVT OR entity to control there posting. THIS some program doing that aka via browser, app etc will not ever be illegal unless they bring another supreme court case and win it (not likely)
