a raid? conducted a raid??? You think that software piracy is reason to conduct a raid??? gads, man, this is supposed to be a land of laws. We don't conduct raids over misdemeanors and civil issues. We reserve raids for drug dealers, child pornographers, terrorists, and real criminals.
The idea that Microsoft's Private Army can conduct raids is truly chilling. Bill Gates can come into my bedroom whenever he wants? That is downright frightening.
Next I suppose Hilton will want to raid our linen closets to check for hotel towels.

Interesting article indeed. The thing that hit me most was:
>... [BSA] conducted a raid and subsequent audit ... that turned up
>a few dozen unlicensed copies of programs.
And
>"We won't do business with someone who treats us poorly."
Now, when you are using unlicensed copies of software who is treating who
unfairly?
