I've seen accounts of the BSA acting on behalf of Adobe, Sun, and
the MPAA, or rather MPAA members. I seem to recall their activity in
relation to game consoles or dongles as well, although I don't follow
games enough to remember the details.
The Institute for Software Choice does seem to be an exclusivly MS
attack dog, first to bat in Chile, Mexico and Germany.
That's not to discount the possibility of either showing up in
Salem, maybe even both.
