MS can't catch a break... They defend their copyrights and get slammed on Hacker News for not being "cool" with the OSS community infringing on their properties. Weak sauce, Hacker News.

Where do you see people slamming Microsoft in this thread?

The post of this just implied, to me, that Microsoft is evil for putting in a take-down request. Why else post this? There are literally hundreds of take-down notices on GitHub. Why post this one?

Flag the post and move on. I don't see any Microsoft hating here, most of the posts are about Microsoft being in their right to take down a project that uses their copyrighted binaries and is distributing them wholesale after adding some extra code...

I think you are being downvoted because you forgot the qualifier "if it is too difficult to enforce"
