BSA Ads -- 3:18 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

As I was driving around Minneapolis today, I was disgusted to hear ads from the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The basic message was, "If you are a disgruntled employee or former employee, turn your company in and we'll pay you $50K." I'm not in favor of piracy, but I'm also not in favor of legal threats without anything vaguely resembling due process. Plus, it's not enough for them that you bought your software legitimately. You need the proof that they are looking for that you bought it. These strong-arm tactics are, for me, the best reason to switch to Free Software.
