So you think that because MS doesn't use it now, they won't ever use the DMCA to squash bug reports?

Here's a link to the Security Focus article on HP:

and they have the right idea, that the law needs to be "patched" so that companies cannot actually go after those who report bugs or vulns.

I have nothing against MS, I make a lot of money due to the fact that their OS is popular and buggy.

I don't think it's likely. Watch Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". Paranoid is no way to live.
