Hey all, heres something really interesting about that lovely company called microsoft...(heard of them?)
Anyway, a 17yr old kid by the name of Mike Rowe opens up a webdesigning company and names it MikeRoweSoft (say it out loud..if you're really daft not to get it just be reading it)..then registers mikerowesoft.com...a couple of days later he gets an email from microsoft's lawyers to hand over the domain for 10$...he refuses and says no way, how about 10,000? a couple of days later he gets a legal document of around 25 pages from the lawyers!! They are going after him extortion!! Read the whole thing at mikerowesoft.com its pretty amusing, gives a totally new meaning to scumbags, sons of bitches and cheap bastards...oops, hope i dont get sued for saying that. Now that the whole story has gotten so much publicity, microsofts exec's say they "could have handled it better" and "its gotten a bit out of hand" and "they never intended for this to blow up so big". I think it would be good if MicroSoft joins hands with the RIAA and search for kids aged between 12 and 17 they can sue as the older ones might be a little harder. (case you didnt get the above, the RIAA sued a 12 year old girl for dl'ing music, google for that) In closing, I hope (and am cheering) that Mike Rowe kicks Micro's ass.
