Mod this one (parent) up.

Whoever sent the facebook photo, either is doing something *very* wrong, or found a bug. MS does not sell DRM'ed music via Zune Marketplace. And it does not delete your music, unless yo request it. The only DRM is in subscription, which is fine.

Defense does not necessarily need to be incompetent. As long as the accuser can demonstrate that the patent applies, defense has no choice, until the patent used itself is invalidated, which is not easy. (Remember that one-click shopping patent of Amazon).

I've only seen one recent case of Microsoft using patents against competition (FAT vs TomTom). However, every year they have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to unknown companies. Especially the Eolas case was ridiculous, and those money, unfortunately, goes from our wallets, as the MS tax, when we purchase a new Dell system.

The main point is, automated Google translation from Turkish is nowhere is good, and any respectable news source (i.e: slashdot) should not refer to it, unless they want to look funny.

As someone mentioned above: "they set us the bomb". But given the context of the article, probably "all your base are belong to us".

Thanks for you mature comment. I hope by writing this, and listening to music on my computer I don't become a hypocrite.

Well, actually I don't think so :)
