News flash:  You and your kin are not the entire world.

Wouldn't you like M$ to pay attention to those laws?  Where do you think
the vulnerabilities come from?

How would consideration for the law reduce _vulnerabilities_?

I have to agree with Michael Rudel.
When we're discussing the ethics/morals of something current laws are
irrelevant.
Laws are deduced from the outcome of such discussions (or that's the way
I think it should be).

So why are YOU discussing laws, followed by a statement that what you
wrote is irelevant?

But thanks for the job security!
