Microsoft Sued Over WGA

“The Seattle PI is reporting on a lawsuit being brought against Microsoft in response to their WGA spyware. Groklaw is also covering the story. Although there are a lot of similarities to Sony’s rootkit, the actual harm done is less concrete. It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out.”

Somehow I doubt a petty lawsuit is going to stop WGA, but it would be nice. Not that I disagree with Microsoft trying to protect their software, but they need to find a better way. Preferably one that doesn’t waste the time of completely legal users.
