what ever happened to freedom of the press?

i thought that freedom of the press meant you could write what you wanted and print it wherever..
as long as it wasnt copywrited or whatever...
so this brings my question .....

what if .. win2000 and all there lil trade secrets were to be disassembled and posted ...

maybe a assembled version is copywrited ... but would that also include a disassembled version?

and another thing! MS and there agreements are crap! just like there waste of space OS's ... i think MS should have stuck with XeniX and left the whole windows based environment (lisences and agreements included) to Apple or whatever ...

another question .... do you have to agree to anything before you d/l whatever the specifications are included with or whatever?
if not .... the file that has the specifications were to stay compressed and like a cgi script or something were to extract just that file .... who's to say who did it ...
nobody to blame ....
anyway!

my sugestion would be to forget the whole thing ... then next week somehow a copy of it got posted on about 200 misc. free websites (geocities,xoom,tripod, etc...) and a link to a cgi for redirection ...
its not on your site ... just a link to an html page ....
who knows whats on it ....
