-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edmund Cramp Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2002 6:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [brlug-general] Wal-Mart Shipping PCs with Lindows Preinstalled 3. WalMart sells 100,000 computers in the first year but Lindows goes out of business so everyone with a WalMart "borrows" a copy of W98SE and installs in on their system. Microsoft sues Wal-Mart for "knowingly distributing a device used to illegally copy software", Sony, Warner, BMG, EMI and Universal sue WalMart for "selling a device used to distribute software used to defeat copy protection on music CDs" (Magic Markers used by kiddies to black-out the copy-protection track on the new CD's). Forced to fight a battle on two fronts WalMart files Chapter-11. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
