- tedunangst 15y agoAnd yet the BSA has revoked its support. Are you just mad because MS didn't 3-way you in when they called BSA to complain?
- lukeschlather 15y agoPersonally I'm mad because Microsoft, Apple, and the rest haven't given an opinion one way or another. Without any official statements I can only assume that they were fully in support of the BSA's actions, but they are backpedaling in light of the public outcry.
- einhverfr 15y agothe interesting thing about corporations having free speech rights is that one would expect that they might use them when standing up in cases like this. I would agree that Microsoft's silence here is probably tacit support.
