CRIA Faces $60 Billion Lawsuit 280

jvillain writes "The Canadian Recording Industry Association faces a lawsuit for 60 billion dollars over willful infringement. These numbers may sound outrageous, yet they are based on the same rules that led the recording industry to claim a single file sharer is liable for millions in damages. Since these exact same companies are currently in the middle of trying to force the Canadian government to bring in a DMCA for Canada, it will be interesting to see how they try to spin this."

The reasoning behind linux not being adopted is that the people in charge at companies are not paying attention to the needs of there employees. I am working at a company now that has 75 workstations. most of them browse the internet for data via http not needing windows, ie or ms office. i recommended linux and open office and i was almost beatup. There is a misunderstanding about linux, open office and all open source.
