Yeah, but seriously, it's Europe.  Who says this will spread to the US, Canada and other areas outside of the EU?

Well, since I'm working on a SCO problem as we speak (and drinking beer by the way) all I can say is...GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THAT.

I *really* don't like the idea of criminal charges for IP infringement, especially when it comes to software.

I would imagine that if this passes, that Microsoft will have to be more careful not to pull another "Stac", lest Bill Gates be hauled off to jail on his next european vacation.

although it would depend on whether the defendant can argue that the infringement was unintentional.
