Submission + - Microsoft and Bust Buy are racketeers
mcgrew (sm62704) writes: "The AP (via Yahoo! news) is reporting that "The Supreme Court Monday rejected an appeal by Microsoft Corp. and a unit of Best Buy Co. Inc. to dismiss a lawsuit alleging violation of racketeering laws through fraudulently signing up customers for Microsoft's online service."
They had asked the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling that argued that RICO didn't apply to them. The article says "The lawsuit alleges the companies violated RICO by engaging in wire fraud when they electronically transmitted the plaintiffs' financial information".
Is the RIAA next?"
