Remember when MPAA released a closed-source Linux distro with the intention of gathering incriminating data on university students? That was pretty weird.

  Wait, so they released software with copyright-infringing code?!

    Tht wouldn't be the first time. They also illegally released a film and claimed they had a right to do so. I wish I could use that as a legal excuse "well nuh uh they were mean to me"

  I don't remember this! Do you have a source so I can get the whole story?

    Not only that, the distro infringed the Xubuntu copyright too: https://xubuntu.wordpress.com/tag/mpaa/ https://xubuntu.wordpress.com/tag/mpaa/

      That's hilarious. In trying to catch people stealing, they stole a trademarked logo.

        Should have fined them damages in excess of 1 trillion dollars to the open source community.
