I'm disappointed this isn't drawing more attention in the community. This guy is going to jail for 15 months for trying to address a serious problem in our industry and Microsoft is sicking their lawyers on him to try and prove a point. Fuck you MS. This only reinforces my resolve to avoid using or buying your products whenever possible.
