Gates is no hero for Microsoft, but his philanthropic efforts are probably heroic.

  Is it heroism if he's donating money obtained by crime?

    Was Robin Hood a hero?
    • grogenaut 10y ago
      No, he wasn't real.

        Robin Hood has more reality to me than grogenaut does. Funny how that works, considering that presumably you have a human body and Robin Hood never did.
        • grogenaut 10y ago
          Given grogenaut is an internet personality, this is entirely true understandable.
  • TazeTSchnitzel 10y ago
    Interesting dilemma that. The good his foundation does is much greater than the evils Microsoft have done, perhaps.

  Even if his philanthropy allows him to pressure governments to change intellectual property laws around the world?
