Re: Computer Sabotage by Microsoft

Hello,

> And towards the end of the EULA it states "Microsoft reserves the right

and BMW reserves the right to remove the wheels of your car when they
want to.

Even if that would be within any agreement. Once you bought your car,
anyone touching it (including BMW) will go to court. There is no logical
reason why law should handle the copy of software on the XBOX harddisk
in a different way than a car. If it does, the law itself is flawed.
