Vendors Repossesing Software? (Score 2)

It will be difficult enough when a vendor can shutdown or reposses Software remotely. However, I have to wonder if they have considered the probablility that once the commercial security has been broken (shouldn't take too long either), nobody's software is safe from being cancelled. Do you chase after the cracker who killed your mission critical software (or destroyed your ability to write business letters, which could be considered mission critical) and whom doesn't have the resources to return your business to health, or do you chase the vendor, who may well have deeper pockets.

Assuming that this turkey goes through, and since it will enrich lawyers I suspect that it will, Open Source will be the only software worth having.
