Comment Why Corporation Oppose UCITA (Score 1) 168
for the record, my mom works for a large company you would all recognize and has been working hard keeping UCITA from passing at the state level for over two years.
the reason she has organized with other like-minded people & organizations is not out of the goodness of her employer's heart, but because passage of UCITA would cost them MILLIONS of dollars annually
they are especially concerned & incensed at the notion of a software provider being able to install "kill-switches" and essentially control them at their discretion. As you can imagine, large organizations that rely on software for the functioning of their business (that is, just about every company these days) are *extremely* reluctant to put that kind of control in the hands others
especially those found to be predatory monpolists!
